Renderings of 26m in-build yacht Vismara VM 80 Unveiled

The Italian yard has unveiled new renderings for the 26-meter yacht, the Vismara VM 80 . The sailing yacht has been in-build at the Viareggio shipyard since 2021 where the project’s carbon sandwich hull and deck structure were laminated.

A six-handed project by Vismara in collaboration with the designers Lucio Micheletti, as regards the interiors and styling.

The hull of the boat is built entirely of carbon sandwich, the deck is covered in teak.

A retractable keel with a draft of 2.50 meters is installed for navigating in shallow seas and entering the port by the motor; and 4 m for offshore sailing.

Vismara VM 80 is defined by a classic raised deckhouse and twin steering positions that form part of a large social cockpit at the stern. In terms of sailing features, VM 80 comes with a retractable keel, lifting from 4 meters to 2.5 meters when entering shallow ports or cruising areas under power. The full carbon mast supports a total sail area of 280 square meters.

The maneuvers are all reported aft on the 4 electric winches positioned in front of the double wheelhouse to which comfortable sundeck chairs have been added, designed for long voyages.

On deck we find a large cockpit divided into two areas with a double L-shaped sofa and two large folding dining tables for dining al fresco.

Going down the stairs and entering inside we find ourselves in front of a large dinette with an L-shaped sofa and table on the left side; on the right a second sofa, TV, and chart table.

Towards the stern, on the right side next to the sofa, is the kitchen, consisting of: tilting gas burners, fridge, oven, dishwasher, sink and large countertop.

Continuing after the kitchen is the sailor’s cabin: bunk bed, wardrobe, and a private bathroom with shower. On the opposite side, there is a guest cabin with a double bed, large wardrobe, and bathroom with a shower.

The engine room, with a double 120hp sail drive engine installed, is located under the dinette.

A large electric opening hatch has been mounted on the transom which can accommodate a tender of 3 m in length, and also acts as a swimming platform for when you are comfortably stationary in the harbor.

The interiors of the Vismara VM 80 are spacious and very bright thanks to the large hull windows and a second window on the deckhouse that allows you to look around 180 degrees while comfortably seated on the sofa.

All rooms are ventilated from the outside through the different hatches positioned on the deck.

Two air conditioning and heating systems are also installed to be able to experience the boat both in summer and in winter in maximum comfort.

The visionary custom yacht designs that have shaped Vismara Marine over 30 years

• Toby Hodges
• June 3, 2016

After three decades of producing light and innovative custom yachts, this Italian yard is developing a new ‘prêt-a-porter’ concept. Toby Hodges investigates

Vismara Marine has always been an exciting, fresh and different company. Its yachts are fast, light and inspirational designs. To look at the history of this Italian custom yacht specialist is to track the timeline of the modern cruiser-racer. And looking at its models today offers insight into where yacht design is headed. Here is a firm that is consistently ahead of its time.

Over the past three decades Vismara Marine has launched over 130 custom yachts from its Viareggio yard, many of which are now regarded as iconic designs. Names such as Pistrice , Alligator and Kiribilli resonate because of the way they combine style and function, able to win on the racecourse despite carrying a cruising interior.

News that Vismara is expanding with the launch of its first series-produced model, the V50 prêt-à-porter encouraged us to travel to Italy for a test sail – see our boat test HERE .

Viareggio is the nucleus of Italian boatbuilding. A visit to this Tuscan town near Pisa guarantees a moment of disbelief when first you see the tops of flybridges and multi-spreader rigs towering above the skyline of the town centre buildings. Some of the powerhouses of superyachting reside in disproportionate scale within Viareggio’s modest centre, including Benetti, Perini Navi and Azimut. And nestled into its bustling waterfront lies this rather special yard, Vismara Marine.

The man behind the brand

While Vismara dedicated the 1980s to designing IOR racers, for him the 1990s were all about ‘beautiful boats’.

“We decided we could make a company dedicated to giving to cruising people the right to sail properly like the racing guys,” he says. The Nineties saw a surge in clients who wanted minimalist interiors: no teak; and white painted throughout. These were state of the art boats built in light composite construction, some with radical features such as canting keels and wingmasts.

Up until 2003 Vismara designed for other builders and built for other designers at the Marine Services yard. But then he decided “to create a brand and be responsible for the cycle of design, production and resale”. Vismara Marine was born.

This shared construction relationship helps explain why Vismara was so busy during our visit. Hulls arrive at Viareggio either bare, or fitted with furniture, and to a very impressive level of finish. “Until now we averaged two to four boats a year, 100 per cent tailor-made,” says Vismara. “The new business plan is to keep that range of custom boats and to grow the prêt-à-porter side. We think in two years’ time we can be up to ten boats a year.”

What’s in the yard?

New builds and refits spilt out of the yard’s lofty sliding doors. Indeed, a powerful-looking new Vismara Mills 56 cruiser was due to be christened the day after our visit. There were also two new V62s, a 50ft custom Vismara and the second V50 in the shed, plus five Baltic Yachts refits from 50-80ft.

As well as working closely with Baltic Yachts for nearly three decades, Vismara has worked with some of the industry’s leading design firms, including Farr, Judel- Vrolijk and Bill Tripp. Its latest collaborations are with Mark Mills, who Vismara rates highly for his vision, dedication and enthusiasm.

When listing the designs his yard has produced over the years (see below), Vismara described the Mills-designed V62 SuperNikka as his ‘perfect boat’. A Vismara, he says, is all about CFD-analysed design, pre-preg hulls and composite interiors that form part of the boat. He believes in keeping interiors light and avoiding heavy, complicated systems.

Vismara produced a fully hybrid 50-footer six years ago, radical still today. “We have always tried to push clients to a more modern, current approach – while creating the commercial value by trying to avoid fancy requests,” declares Vismara. “Why are we good at custom? We are good at listening and understanding.”

A custom approach

“I love the preliminary stages – to learn about the client, to create a relationship,” Vismara explains. “But now owners don’t like so many meetings – everyone is time poor. Plus they are scared to make an error.”

Radical modern interior of Luce Guida

Vismara is still very much a yard focused on custom builds, but the decision was recently made to invest in creating a ‘prêt-à-porter’ line of female-moulded yachts. “Many clients don’t have the experience to buy a custom boat now,” Vismara maintains, adding that the new line of boats “use the same high technology, but are built in a standardised design and promoted through a network of dealers”.

As well as the V50, the yard is creating more prêt-à-porter production models off the back of custom projects. The radical V62 SuperNikka , is a very current example. She launched last year and won the Mini Maxi worlds. A mould has since been taken with the chine smoothed out, and two more V62s were in the yard at fit-out stage.

Past iconic Vismara models include yachts such as Kiribilli , a 60ft ‘maxi’ developed with Renzo Piano, and the 54ft fast cruiser Brizella . But this V50 is the start of a fresh new era, “a type of boat that has not existed before”.

Iconic designs

Pistrice – a V40 launched in 1992. Designed for IMS racing – “the first real proof that you can win races like the Sardinia Cup with a cruising boat, and that you could sail like a racer,” declares Vismara. She won the IMS Italian Championships and Champagne Mumm Cup in 1993.

Kirribilli – the green and gold flush-decked 60ft design was developed with Renzo Piano as a fast cruiser with mini-maxi characteristics. Launched in 2001.

Dragon 2 – ‘Gold Dragon’ – “Totally Vismara, with a minimalistic very current design,” comments Vismara. Striking features include her wraparound coachroof windows, gold and red styling and a central engine under the saloon table.

Mark Mills on the Vismara V62 SUPERNIKKA

• July 14th, 2018

There are seldom boat designs that let you stand there, frozen, watching with awe and excitement, leaving you speechless. The Vismara V62 Mills is such a boat, at least the SUPERNIKKA has a drastic impression on myself: She is so breathtakingly beautiful, from every angle, her lines are well balanced but aggressive and extreme at the same time. She is an absolutely beautiful and exciting boat – from the first moment that I watched her on YouTube I was bewitched. What is the story behind her?

I am happy that her designer, Californian-born Mark Mills, agreed to talk to me on the phone about the V62 design, his approach in conceiving the boat´s attractive design and the collaboration with the Italian yard Vismara. I find Mills in a relaxed and talky mood and not wanting any of his precious time, instantly began to go through my set of questions.

“I like to be in control of all creative aspects of yacht design.”

NO FRILLS SAILING.com | Lars Reisberg: “Mark, please tell me how and why you´ve decided to become a naval architect? Where did you study and what have been the principal steps of your career?”

Mark Mills: “Oh, that is a bit if a long story, I fear: When I grew up back in California I didn´t had anything to do with sailing or yachts at all. I love airplanes and airplane design. I wanted to become an aircraft designer. When my family moved to Ireland my parents registered me in a yacht club without my knowledge and this is finally how I got to sail. I loved it and over the time I realised that instead of an aircraft designer who is just a small part of a huge team in becoming a naval architect I would be able to work on my own without this big overhead. This was very attractive for me, so I did it.”

NFS.com: “That means you like to be the boss?”

Mark Mills: “No, not in this sense. I would say I like to be in full control over all creative aspects of what I do. You see, at least when it comes to hull design – I really don´t care that much for the colours of the cushion, but when it comes to the shape, I´d like to be responsible and in control.”

NFS.com: “Where did you learn the tools of the trade?”

Mark Mills: “Oh, that´s a pretty much ordinary and straightforward career I would say. I acquired a Bachelor of Arts in the US and later studied Naval Architecture in Southampton. But I won´t say that this did such a great impression on me. The real school I went through was the people I´ve met along the way, the sailing I did and the experience I gained. I didn´t found the education at the Universities that much valuable for myself, I must admit. It was more the people.”

NFS.com: “Mills Design Company is, as far as I know, only working on performance yachts, mostly race-connected and in the high-priced semi-custom and custom/one-off level. Where lies the attraction in accepting just jobs of this kind? Why no production boats, cruisers for example?”

Mark Mills: “Well, in most cases you are right. But we´ve also done some production boats as well but always with a strong affection for racing yachts. That is what I love to do. But anyway, I am a service provider and I can be hired by everyone. For example, a number of years ago we did pitch at Beneteau for the First 30 . I would also enjoy working with the larger production boat companies, you just have to find a project or niche where your set of skills matches theirs.”

“SUPERNIKKA is an incredibly successful yacht.”

NFS.com: “Let´s talk about V62 SUPERNIKKA, Mark. She is what I would say the most beautiful yacht I´ve seen in years. Her lines are just breathtaking. When and how was the V62 born? What was the general idea behind this yacht?”

Mark Mills: “Oh, thanks for the credits. I like SUPERNIKKA very much as well and I agree that she is a special boat for sure. In fact, the V62 SUPERNIKKA was my first collaboration with Vismara yard and I was hired in 2013 by Alessandro Vismara to come up with some ideas for a client of him who wanted to acquire his own racing yacht. Up to this point this owner had three designs of Alessandro Vismara, but together they decided to take the next step …”

NFS.com: “… which became SUPERNIKKA. What was the design brief on that boat?”

Mark Mills: “Yes, absolutely right. The briefing was simple but in it´s own sense complicated: The owner wanted a yacht that had to be optimized for the Mediterranean. Which is a thing for itself, because sailing in the Med means that you ought have to have a boat capable of performing in a light breeze as well as in strong winds, a boat that should be fast on a reaching and running point of sail but has to be as well powerful in beating upwind. Which is not very easy to combine, you know? Racing boats are normally very specialized on one particular thing. If you for example look at the IMOCA LINO or Class 40-boats , these are downwind yachts which are usually terrible in sailing upwind …”

NFS.com: “… I know what you mean . So, SUPPERNIKKA had to be a good allrounder then?”

Mark Mills: “Absolutely yes. Which by the way is exactly what I love to do. You see, I hate being bad at one thing even when I am good at all the others. Making a design that can sail fast on one point of sail but being slow on another – even if this boat is just participating in downwind races – can feel a little wrong to me. So in a certain way, the design brief on the V62 was exactly what I loved to do. But another aspect was making my work harder: The owner wanted a fast racing yacht but at the same time a fully cruising-capable yacht on which he could go out on leisure sailing with friends and his family.”

NFS.com: “Why makes it working on the design harder?”

Mark Mills: “Because cruising means you´ll need a proper equipped interior . Stuff like joinery, stowage, a galley. In short: Weight. But with a racing boat we like to be as light as possible. So in brief, that was the task with V62 SUPERNIKKA. But in the end I think we´ve done a fantastic job, the yacht is incredibly successful and besides her winning the races she participates she is also an incredibly nice cruising yacht. All in all three boats have been built and sold up to now and recently with Vismara we´ve come up with a V67 that has a similar design balance.”

“The V62 SUPERNIKKA is a pretty straightforward racing yacht design after all.”

NFS.com: “Can you explain the main features of the V62-design and give some insights into her construction? What makes the V62 unique in your eyes?”

Mark Mills: “Well, you see, first of all I would state that I think the V62 is a pretty straightforward racing yacht design. I don´t think that there is too much of special things in her construction. You see, that is also the reason why I like working with Vismara – instead of fancying new technologies, materials and other bling-bling-stuff, they focus on the job and want to deliver a serious product to their clients. That´s also my approach: I´d like to come up with ideas that work out in the first place. So, speaking of SUPERNIKKA, the boat is really balanced I would say. I think in naval architecture it is always about balance. The boat is very good in what it was meant to be good: She is a terrific racing yacht for racing both inshore and offshore and a good cruiser. As with all boats, you try to narrow down the wetted surface and have a long waterline – this makes a boat fast in light winds. Then, in stronger winds, when the boat heels, your hull shape will increase wetted surface, add stability and enable the boat to go fast as well. This is what we´ve done with SUPERNIKKA as well.”

NFS.com: “She has a very wide stern with some 5 metres width and the boat also features some very nice hard chines …”

Mark Mills: “… take a look at the chines, that´s an interesting detail, because we´ve come up with a nice solution here. Adding hard chines in the stern usually improves downwind performance and the tendency to plane. But in going upwind, hard chines will make the boat slowing down. So the height of the chines is critical. In SUPERNIKKA we´ve decided to have them put a bit higher and it works pretty well.”

NFS.com: “What about the appendages on V62?”

Mark Mills: “Again, pretty straightforward I would say. You see, we do not follow any fancy trends. For example, we went for a single rudder blade just because there is no need to have a double rudder-solution here. As long as the blade is submerged at any heeling angle you are fine with it. By the way, in the latest Wally Cento the boat was built with a single rudder instead of the proposed double bladed-design. Again, I think people love the boat partially because she is a down-to-earth design. She is beautiful because she works. We don´t have to go on a certain fancy style.”

NFS.com: “Your company has over the years after V62 had a long tradition in submitting designs to the Vismara-yard in Italy. What makes Vismara and the people behind this company special? Why is Mills plus Vismara such an unbeatable formula?”

“Vismara yard delivers the most Bang for the Buck.”

Mark Mills: “First of all I would say that the relation between the builder and the designer is very important for the outcome of any project. Both have to fit the needs of a client. There are clients who for example just don´t care about technological stuff or material and other clients need a builder that is also submitting new ideas to a project in terms of technology or production techniques. So I find it to be one of my jobs to introduce to my clients a builder that generally fits the needs of the client because it is always a different solution for every new customer. The Vismara yard and Alessandro Vismara in particular have been a good choice in this sense: Because they care about their customers and try to answer all of their question in the right way. In the end, the finished product is always a very enjoyable boat – with a very, very reasonable price tag.”

NFS.com: “Can you be more specific in this respect?”

Mark Mills: “Well, you see, one-off yards tend to come up with more extreme solutions which for racers is part of the game. A new material here, a new production method there. It is a cost driver and the boats become more expensive all the time. This sort of disconnects us from the sailing world ever so much. Even in the relatively high-price segment of racing yachts, the boats become very, very expensive. Vismara yard on the other hand has a very different approach. As I said, the boat is pretty straightforward in the design – so it is in the production and material. She is made from Carbon fibres and foam core. The yard used material and methods which are reasonable – and delivered a very cost-effective product. The do what they do with the budget in mind. Besides, Vismara has a long standing tradition in making high performance yachts.”

NFS.com: “Vismara is also known for making the boats in carbon fibre …”

Mark Mills: “… which in my eyes is the best solution when it comes to building yachts like these. GRP or E-glass will generally make the boat much more a heavy weight. Carbon on the other hand delivers less weight and at the same time will be much more rigid, which is a definitive must-have with performance boats. By the way, for boats this size, the relative cost of the material like carbon fibre is of less and less concern as this is not such a big driving factor in the budget. I would say that carbon fibre in combination with foam material is way the best solution for a racer cruiser and this is what I like best about Vismara: They are always striving to get the most boat for the client at the most cost-effective and efficient way.”

NFS.com: “Which applies as well to the interior design, doesn´t it?”

Mark Mills: “Yes, absolutely and this is where Vismara also has it´s strengths. They do have a very, very good design office that is specialized in using available space and come up with great solutions for utilizing the inner volume of a yacht. They also doing it in a very smart way and they have done a great job with SUPERNIKKA´s interior.”

“SUPERNIKKA is pretty much the perfect yacht for me.”

NFS.com: “Mark, you have sailed in the V62 already, what is it like to be on your design for the first time and having her sailing as a real boat in real water?”

Mark Mills: “I can tell you, for me it is always like a rollercoaster ride. On the one hand I am happy to having the project finally hitting water, on the other hand I always am nervous until I know it will perform. There is always a sense of anxiety within me although I know that this is unreasonable. Anyway, SUPERNIKKA was performing just awesome, until now she has won many races and two of the three Maxi World Championships in which she participated.”

NFS.com: “What would you change on the V62-design if you had been given total freedom?”

Mark Mills: “You never finish. That´s because boats are always about finding the right balance. So, would I change the hull shape? Maybe a bit. Would I change sail plan or other things? Well, there are some minor details, of course. But in general I must say that the V62 is pretty well done and very well balanced. She does what she is supposed to do in a very, very satisfactory way. I wouldn´t change too much”

NFS.com: “You have done some extraordinary projects so far in your career and Mills designs are regularly seen on winning positions ins races all over the Oceans. What is your most beloved design of them all if you look back?”

Mark Mills: “You always love all of your children, as the saying goes and therefore I like all of my designs. Although some of them are sticking out, yes. I like the Maxi 72 ALEGRE very much and the 40 IRC TIAMAT is also a pretty nice boat, as well as the Wallycento TANGO. And in this part the SUPERNIKKA is also a boat which sticks out very much. So, these would be among my most beloved boats. By the way, it is a special joy for me to see that the V62-concept has generated some offspring: Currently the Cape 31, a smaller development of the SUPERNIKKA hull style is built in South Africa and I think this is wonderful. Especially for me as a designer, seeing things work out fine is good, but seeing them taking new shapes, new direction is a great achievement.”

Thanks so much, Mark, for spending some time with me on the phone sharing these intimate insights on the incredible V62 SUPERNIKKA racing yacht!

Vismara Marine Yachts

A versatile yacht designer and builder located in Viareggio, Italy, Vismara Marine constructs luxury motor and sailing yachts ranging from 10 to 27.5 metres.

History of Vismara Marine

Luxury yacht builder Vismara Marine was founded in 1984 by naval architect Alessandro Vismara . Early in his career, Vismara designed yachts for superyacht builder Perini Navi, and he is a longtime design collaborator with luxury sailing yacht builder Baltic Yachts.

High-performance racing yachts were a primary focus for luxury yacht builder Vismara Marine until 1999, when the firm collaborated with Mas Yachts on the design of the 8.5-metre Mas 28 performance powerboat. Today, Vismara Marine builds luxury sailing yachts designed for racing and cruising, as well as luxury motor yachts.

Notable Vismara Marine Yachts

In 2011, luxury yacht builder Vismara Marine launched the 16.3-metre V50 Hybrid sailing yacht Energheia , featuring a diesel/electric auxiliary engine. RINA awarded the luxury sailing yacht its Green Star Plus Platinum designation for environmentally friendly design.

Leaving a smaller environmental footprint also is the concept behind the new 27.5-metre custom Vismara 90 Fast Explorer motor yacht commissioned by energy magnate Fernandino Brachetti Perretti. Luxury yacht builder Vismara Marine designed this flagship to provide speeds of up to 35 knots with smaller, 1.400-hp Caterpillar diesel main engines.

Vismara V62 Mills ‘SuperNikka’

In late 2013 we received an e-mail inquiry from Italy for a design in the 60’ range.  As we learned more about the client and his team, the pieces began to fit together to form a very promising and productive design opportunity.  Their brief for a high performance Racer/Cruiser is always a difficult request, often compromising both sides of the equation, but this client was a little different…

Roberto Lacorte is a very dynamic person, a successful businessman who drives for the Sport Prototype racing team he sponsors, races his 2012 Vismara 47 LadyNikka as well as cruising it in summer with his family, and when he felt there was too little offshore racing in North West Italy he founded the thriving 151 Miglia race www.151miglia.it to change things.  This race plus others like the Giraglia, the Rolex Middle Sea Race, and the Maxi Worlds formed the target for the new design, in a vision not just to combine racing with cruising, but to create something powerful and beautiful to do both in.  The new boat had to look extraordinary as well as race effectively before being fitted out for family cruising.  In cruising trim the requirements included sub-3m draft, powered winches, dinghy storage in the transom, a retracting bow thruster, and an anchor windlass, on top of the two en-suite double cabins aft and the master suite forwards.   To get a feel for his options at this size Roberto chartered the 65’ Cruiser/Racer Stig for the 2013 Middle Sea Race and placed second overall as Nikka 65, showing the teams skill and learning a lot about what they wanted from a new design.

A core part of Roberto’s team is builder Alessandro Vismara, head of the large Vismara Marine facility in Viareggio where he has produced 2 of Roberto’s previous boats.  The design responsibility would be a joint effort with Vismara, an experienced designer himself whose large technical office had already produced a detailed preliminary layout for SuperNikka.  This allowed us to focus on our strengths in producing the external geometry for hull and deck, appendages, and rig sizing while the Vismara team produced the structures, layout, and systems.  We agreed that the basic boat needed to be as aggressive as possible and concentrated on separating the racing and cruising configurations by making cruising gear removable such as the retractable bow thruster, anchor windlass, and replacing the transom door/swim step with a lighter panel, and gaining draft with a lifting keel arrangement, lowering the bulb to 4.2m.  Armed with a target racing measurement condition displacement of 16,150kg and resulting weight distribution we could begin to shape the design around the requirements.

To develop the SuperNikka hull and appendages we relied on the development program originally created with performance prediction and analysis experts KND/Sailing Performance for our2014 Maxi 72’ World Champion design Alegre.  This process is now a fundamental part of our performance design procedure, and begins with an analysis of the weather conditions and expected racecourse types to build a weighting matrix favouring performance in the particular conditions we want the boat to excel in.  The racing event profile was Mediterranean and primarily offshore, suggesting a light/medium bias and a more even mix of wind angles than our more usual inshore event (WL) orientation.  This larger reaching component favours a wider, lighter boat, with chines, and a healthy sail plan to keep moving though a quiet Med offshore night.

Working with KND partner and panel code specialist Roland Kleiter using custom aero coefficients from designers at North Sails Italy we began to analyse a range of hull shapes using the North Sails VPP.  We began with a development of Alegre with soft chines well inboard, and began sequentially comparing that with more aggressive shapes using more powerful chines further outboard which proved to be very effective upwind.  Over more than 20 iterations we developed the harder chined hullform until we were happy that it presented minimal negatives in the light airs more upright condition, and was clearly beneficial when heeled in a breeze.

The balance when drawing hulls of this type is firstly to try and use as much hull length especially when heeled without a wetted transom that results in a drag increase, and then to gain as much stability as possible in the powered-up heeled condition upwind and reaching without an imbalanced helm or ending up sticky as a result of too much wetted surface area upright in light airs.  Boats just intended for reaching are less troubled by these issues, while boats racing on Windward/Leeward courses find that balance more difficult, explaining why hard chines aren’t common on inshore designs like TP52’s and Mini-Maxis.  With a significant reaching component SuperNikka has a wide enough performance profile to make chines an attractive compromise, while retaining the need to perform in light conditions and carry added loads in cruising trim.

The North Sails VPP integrates the lift and drag solutions produced by the DasBoot panel code with the other speed producing factors such as sail area, aero coefficients, stability, etc. to produce the final performance output.  Use of panel code allows a wide range of potential solutions to be evaluated more quickly thanks to a simplification of the governing equations (in essence their validity excludes boundary layer effects), but this has the tendency to over-predict powerful solutions like wide transoms and full bows.  Validating the final stages of hull shape development using RANS CFD is an integral part of the process.  3D Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes Equations RANS yield the most accurate solutions at the cost of a large volume of computation  (thousands of iterations on million elements grids). In return, one can expect a very good assessment of the wave and viscous drag and catch any drag under-prediction from the panel code stages.

Using a setup developed for the KND Volvo 65 RANS program the appended model featured 10 million elements, evaluating drag, rudder angles across the range of heel, and helm balance.  Appendage sizing and positioning is a major component for performance, especially upwind in light airs.  In the past it was common for designs of this size to find it difficult to achieve good balance, requiring large amounts of rake to get reasonable rudder angles which is a key factor in upwind performance.  Having resolved this issue during the design of Alegre we were confident regarding predicted balance, even on a relatively wide hull form with a single rudder and sizable sail plan.   The RANS phase confirmed the design was on the right track with smoother stern sections, a relatively high chine aft, and moderate bow sections which produced the most promising combination in our race model.

Having originally proposed a large rig for a racer/cruiser, we agreed after discussions with the team and their North sailmaker Alessio Razeto to ensure no compromise was made with performance in light conditions, and went back to compare increased rig sizes with their rating impact.  One factor in this decision was our experience that VPP’s are insensitive to the negative effects of righting moment in light conditions.  This may partly be down to sailor expectations that heeling early in the light feels faster, but it seems to be backed up by experience racing in the Mediterranean that Heeling Moment and Righting Moment work best in a certain range.  Our revised rig sizing moved the HM/RM relationship towards the better feel end of that band, a step made possible by the powerful hull shape being amenable to the increase in power further up the wind range.

Once the hull shape was finalised we prepared preliminary deck shapes to combine an effective Racer/Cruiser deck layout with the aesthetic demands of the client for a sleek powerful machine, in his words ‘A Missile’!  At a meeting in Viareggio with Roberto and Alessandro and the other key players in the team this initial suggestion for a wide low coachroof with chines and angular cockpit sides to complement the hull shape was refined into the final configuration, allowing the boat to be effectively sailed by a range of crew numbers as well as creating a safe confined space to enjoy family sailing.

The interior is a development of Roberto’s previous LadyNikka, similarly finished with minimalist Italian style.  It boasts a large open saloon with galley and desk either side of the main hatch, double guest cabins aft and a large owners cabin forwards.  Carbon/foam construction incorporates many techniques and ideas from the practical and resourceful Alessandro Vismara and his team who have one of Europe’s longest track records with stylish performance Racer/Cruisers, one that perhaps is not well known outside of Italy.

SuperNikka’s first race was the 2015 151Miglia, where she romped home as first to finish ahead of larger boats and 2nd on corrected time, a great result for the team.   Yet again for Mills Design the best projects exhibit a team mentality.  The SuperNikka project has been one of the most pleasurable we have undertaken, working with a gifted enthusiastic owner and a very professional yard as partners.   I look forward to enjoying the launching and trials with the team in March 2015, and to working with Vismara Marine on new projects in the future.

Behind The Brand – Alessandro Vismara of Vismara Marine

Posted Monday 11th May 2020

Following our recent series where we gave a little insight into the Grabau International brokerage team, we now turn our attention to the men and women behind the yachting brands we are proud to represent. Beginning this series, we talk to Alessandro Vismara, founder and president of Vismara Marine.

GI – Please introduce yourself and your position within Vismara Marine?

Av – i am alessandro vismara and i am the president and founder of vismara marine, gi – tell us about your background and how you ended up with vismara marine, av – it all started with dinghy racing on lake como and then the desire to navigate in the open ocean. i followed my heart and went to southampton to attend the world-renowned naval architecture courses, specialising in applied hydrodynamics and performance prediction. while i was there, i had an epiphany. i wanted to provide clear scientific answers to questions of yacht design. this was during the 1980s when yacht design was all about experience and feeling. i started to design racing yachts using a truly scientific approach and the yachts we produced went on to win many international and world championship regattas in under the ior and ims rating rules. by the middle of the 1990s, with my name made in racing yacht design, i had a further realisation. i saw the opportunity through the application of scientific design and integrated technology to bring racing yacht performance to the cruising fraternity. just because you are not racing for a trophy does not mean that you do not want to sail well, sail efficient, and sail fast. within just ten years, and with an entire fleet of custom yachts launched bearing this design mentality, i decided to take the next logical step and provide my clients with a complete service with the creation of a brand that integrated design research, construction and after-sales service -vismara marine., gi – tell us about some of your most memorable boating moments, av – as always memories go back to the earliest stages. in 1987 we designed and built a very radical 3/4 ton racing yacht in full carbon fibre. this was many years before the general acceptance of carbon fibre in the marine world and the end result was an extremely lightweight yacht that required much less sail area than her competitors. the boat named ‘gen mar’ was the first of a new breed – new light versus traditional heavy. just three days after her launching ceremony we went on to win the italian championship and then went on to finish on the podium in that season’s world championships. this was a boat i designed at home and built in a garage with friends. it was the moment when it all made sense and the rest, as they say, is history..

The Vismara designed 3/4 Ton racer ‘GEN MAR’ launched in 1987

Another important and memorable moment for me came in 1990 when I became the Baltic Yachts dealer and service agent for the Mediterranean. This collaboration with one of the most iconic and technologically innovative builders in the industry gave me the reputation, credibility and experience that really opened the doors to our new business. For over 30 years we have worked together to create of some of the most beautiful composite performance yachts to grace the oceans and provide the services to maintain, refit, modify and rebuild the yachts for their devoted owners.

GI – Tell us a little bit about the history of Vismara Marine?

Av – i have always tried to follow my passion and seek out the best solutions to develop new technologies and new approaches while staying close to the market. our aim is to lead and not follow. during the 1980s it was the time of single designers, working as a single design office. into the 1990s we were one of the first design offices to understand that the design office should also take full responsibility for the final result, so vismara yacht design became a ‘general contractor’, selling not just the design, but the boat and also sometimes the management. into the 2000s we became more dedicated to the vismara brand and the desire to build a reputation for full-service yacht design and manufacture. we closed vismara yacht design and moved our design team into a new group – vismara marine group. this was a set of three companies catering for design, construction and associated services. in 2007 we were able to bring all of this together with the creation of vismara marine at our new shipyard in viareggio. i like to refer to our home as a ‘design boatyard’. we are an atelier where a client can design, build and then service their yacht, all under the same roof and the same brand..

GI – Which present-day Vismara Marine yacht would you like to sail off into the sunset?

Av – the soul sometimes is different from the brain. i live in a world of technology, research and innovation in the quest for optimal performance, so my brain would choose one our recently-launched nacira 69 , a truly ground-breaking offshore performance yacht which will happily sail towards the sunset at 20 knots thanks to her radical hull design and the worlds first telescopic canting keel. my soul moves less quickly and 15 knots would be perfect for me, so perhaps i would take the combination of comfort and performance afforded by the vismara v62s ‘yoru’ and ‘wizard’ , or the newly-launched vismara v68 ‘pelotari’ , which we designed in collaboration with mark mills . a lamborghini is great fun, but sometimes a bentley works too..

GI – You have designed and built some  truly legendary boats over the years. Name your favourite past Vismara yachts and why?

Av – some yachts create milestones in our lives so my list must surely start with the first. we designed and build the 3/4 ton ‘lace wing’ in 1983 in partnership with luca taddei. in 1984 we won both the italian and english championships and went on to dominate at that year’s cowes week with a ‘younger’ me tailing the winches..

The Vismara designed 3/4 Ton ‘LACE WING’ from 1983

With the momentum of success pulling us along, we went on to produce some legendary winning boats such as the Vismara V40 IMS ‘PISTRICE’ of 1992 which is still winning races today, and her later sistership ‘QUERIDA’ , launched in 1996 and built to cruise for a month each year and then race for the rest. She won the Sardinia Cup in her first season and later in 2001 took the top step of the podium in the Giraglia.

The Vismara V40 IMS ‘PISTRICE’ of 1992

Perhaps the ultimate incarnation of the ‘cruise for a month, rest for the rest’ is the incredible Vismara V62 RC ‘SUPERNIKKA’ . The first design to come from our collaboration with Mark Mills and a boat which has gone on to win the Maxi Worlds four times while still providing her owner with a luxurious family cruising yacht each summer.

There are of course many many more including our first 100ft yacht, ‘BEBIVI’, the amazing Vismara V80 ‘LUCE GUIDA’ of 2011 featuring a jacuzzi, ornate glazed bulkheads and an enormous opening sunroof over her forward saloon area.

Then there are some of the truly spectacular and individual yachts such as the ‘Mono-maran’ ‘JUNOPLANO’ , an 18 metre ULDB design from 1996 with a 3.80m beam, 60 degree canting keel and rotating carbon fibre un-stayed wing mast, and the timeless 60ft ‘KIRRIBILLI’ designed in partnership with world-famous Italian architect Renzo Piano.

I will finish my list with the Vismara C57 Catamaran ‘OBI ONE’ . Launched in 2007, she was our first catamaran and paved the way for a new generation of lightweight, performance cruising catamarans that now seem to be so heavily in vogue. This is an area I am keen to look at again, so if you have a client….

GI – You are perhaps best known for designing and building sailing yachts, but you have also have some new motor yacht projects in build such as the new Vismara MY34 ‘WEEKENDER’ . Tell us a little about this move?

Av – design approach, science and technology – all of these factors lead us to understand the sense of making a better yacht. for  motor yachts we have actually designed and built a few custom projects in recent years, all for owners who were sailing previously and understood the importance of incorporating these factors. all vismara yachts are designed and built using the equation of lightness – a lighter hull designed with optimised hydrodynamics can be fitted with engines half the size to achieve the same speed, can feature a deeper ‘v’ hull to drive better through the waves, and reach the plane at lower speeds. if you can stay on the plane using less power, you will also suffer less noise, vibration and dramatically less fuel consumption. when you think about it, it is so simple, yet we rarely see it in action. for us, any vismara motor yacht must be a proper ship and not a floating house. it must be built to go to sea in all weathers, demonstrating efficiency, comfort and silence. we do not design floating houses but real yachts that can motor in bad weather. a great example of this ethos is the vismara my52 ‘bwave’ . this was one of our first ventures into the motor yacht world and was launched in 2008 yet in today’s aesthetic design-driven world, she still looks as fresh as the day she was first launched. another is the vismara my56 ‘shift’ from 2012 which introduced to the market the ‘navetta’ style of performance motor yacht which has since been widely emulated by mainstream manufacturers. thanks to her highly advanced technology construction, shift’s displacement was reduced by 30-40% which in turn allowed fitment of much 435hp smaller power units to achieve a 28-knot maximum, 22-knot cruise and incredible 12-knot planing speed. in turn shift’s design and construction also generates less fuel consumption, less noise, and easier, and an overall more comfortable navigation for her owners..

GI – How has Vismara Marine been reacting to the Covid-19 situation?

Av – we have reacted with a positive mind and have adapted all of the company processes to comply with the most stringent procedures for the safety of our team. we have also used this opportunity to plan ahead to the next phase of our company existence., gi –  what does the future hold for alessandro vismara and vismara marine, av – i have a strong feeling that the right future for us is to look back at what has built our reputation. the solid foundations created by focussing on the personal involvement of a small team of highly experienced professionals, dedicated to design and production to the highest standard with strong attention to customer care.  for us, the future is not in building thousands of yachts, but building fewer, better. we are  blessed to work with highly knowledgeable clients who understand what they want and what we can do for them to help them achieve their goals.  the first step will be the renaming of our business to ‘vismara marine concepts’. we will work to create a more international approach to our teamwork, partnering with only the very best companies and names in their respective sectors to provide technical solutions for our clients. for us the concept is quite simple. we will use all that we have learnt in our 35-year history to become not larger, but better, and in turn, to create a better world for our clients..

GI – Finally, what do you get up to when you manage to escape from the office?

Av – for those so passionately and deeply involved in the yachting world, we know that escaping from the office can be difficult as there is no boundary between work and leisure time. this is a quandary of our making and we ask no sympathy for it. for me, when i am away from the office, i can use the time to think and evolve concepts in my mind without the immediate pressure to perform. as an italian, we are blessed with the most beautiful countryside the best mountains for skiing, the best sailing grounds, the finest cultural arts, and without doubt, the best food and wine. i like to enjoy all of these with my family and my friends..

AMERICA'S CUP

The new 46' racer/cruiser is the result of collaboration between Vismara Yacht Design and Farr Yacht Design.

A careful research was carried out for this sailing boat in order to optimise her rating for the IRC class rules. For this reason, both design offices have analysed the principal characteristics of different vessels, which are racing under the IRC rules at the moment.

Farr Yacht Design have developed different hull shapes, appendages and sail plans, while Vismara Yacht Design developed the materials specification, the interiors and the deck layout and carefully analysed the racing conditions in the Mediterranean Sea in order to optimize the performance.

This new racer/cruiser results particular against the IMS class and the mass production boats such as X-Yachts and Grand Soleil:

- The hull lines are wider at stern and higher sides to obtain a longer dynamic waterline

- It has a large sail area of 126 m 2

-  It has a high stability index, with a keel weight of 4800 kg

- The boat is made of vacuum bagged E-glass and carbon/epoxy sandwich in order to obtain a very light vessel

Not only the performance of the boat was carefully studied for the IRC class but also his interiors. The vessel has three comfortable double cabins and a forward toilet (another one can be added on request). The interiors layout is symmetric and it was studied to be easily transformed from a single wide-open space during racing to more private areas during cruising.

The interiors style is typical of the Vismara sailing boats. It's warm and welcoming but at the same time very modern, mixing the composite materials of the hull and bulkheads to ‘Tanganica’ plywood panels in order to obtain the effect of separation between structures and furniture, even if every panel has an important role in the overall structure. In this way the boat results much lighter but also robust.

The boat was constructed by Marine Services boatyard in Viareggio (Italy) and was launched at the beginning of Summer 2006.

Have you ever wondered what the English expression ‘one off’ means referring to a sailboat? Identify boats made in a single piece, not simply custom boats, but real unique works made for the needs of the owner, as if they were a tailor’s suit. We were in Cala dei Sardi to discover up close what a one off is, on board Nove , 63 feet by Andrea Pezzi, one-off project (V 63 XR) in wood and carbon realised in collaboration with Vismara, OYA Yacht Design, with the contribution of Claudio Demartis and built by Officine Alto Adriatico.

The former DJ and TV host, today ‘guru’ of digital advertising, has decided to realise the boat of dreams, made to measure for his needs. This is how the experience was on board the Nove by Andrea Pezzi.

When the boat is a one off the owner becomes an active part of the project and the construction site tries to make reality what at first is just a dream or a pencil sketch on a blank sheet of paper.

So it was for Nine, where the shipowner literally drew his idea of a boat, with the request that it was a modern boat but with an ancient flavour, that ‘smell of wood’. For this reason the one off NINE is a boat built of wood and reinforced with carbon.

The hull was made of red cedar planks on a scale with wooden brackets. The blanket is made of mahogany plywood. The structures are made of solid wood douglas and the structures of the keel are made of Iroko wood. The areas where the loads are concentrated such as the lams, the tree beam the bottom of the hull, the madieri area are reinforced with carbon.

Nove is a marine boat, as we had to verify during our day spent on board, but Mills for Nove still designed a rather agile hull, which allows those on board to enjoy sailing as soon as the breeze rises.

Spring has now begun and with it also the important regattas in the waters of the Mediterranean began. As Vismara shipyard we are pleased to announce to all another success of our boat: Aria, Vismara 45, was ranked first in two prestigious regattas held as part of the International Portofino’s week.

Aria’s first triumph came on 23 April in the 18th edition of the “Regata dell’isola di Tino”, a week later in the regattas of “Tigullio’s race” Aria repeated herself arriving first in the free class. These two wins in the free class are added to the first place obtained by Aria in the winter championship of Tigullio always in the same class.

The achievements are the result of Vismara design and the incredible crew of Aria to which we congratulate our most heartfelt.

We are proud to announce that Yoru, Vismara 62 of 2016, after an exciting week of racing came third in Les Voiles de St Barth Richard Mille 2022.

This very important success for the crew of Yoru marks a significant milestone for its owner Luigi Sala who as helmsman of this boat continues to guide it towards more and more prestigious goals. Since its launch this fast cruiser has continuously improved its results in numerous important regattas and the result obtained in Les Voiles de St Barth Richard Mille 2022 is just another demonstration.

The merit of these growing successes is in the design by Vismara-Mills and especially in the crew that leads the boat for more than five years. Proud as a shipyard of this prestigious goal achieved by our boat we congratulate the owner-helmsman Luigi Sala and all the crew of Yoru!

Where did the decision (or determination) to participate in the ARC come from? What was the strongest spring that pushed you, considering also that, like last year, this year too, contrary to expectations, was a bit of a “COVID ARC”.

– The idea of ​​crossing the Atlantic has always fascinated us. For years I had been watching videos of those who had done it and listening to the stories of friends who had had this experience. The ARC seemed to us the most suitable formula for our desire to face the real high ground and the ocean for the first time, and to do so by competing with other boats and crews in a regatta. Covid made us give up in 2020, but when we realized that we would be able to organize ourselves in 2021, we ran to sign up.

Once you made the decision what was the first thing you did?

– In reality, we did two things at the same time: thoroughly study the rules relating to safety equipment and prepare a plan of checks and interventions on the boat to prepare it for more severe conditions than those experienced so far in the Mediterranean.

Preparing a boat for this venture is something that requires a lot of planning and attention. What were the critical factors for you?

– We have paid particular attention to the mast / rigging, which have also been carefully checked with ultrasound analysis to verify their integrity; to the wheelhouse with full inspection and replacement of parts subject to wear, and in general to the entire plant engineering part, which in the event of a break in the ocean would have put us in difficulty, such as sea cocks, overhauled or replaced. We also had some new sails made, designed specifically for the crossing. In practice, the whole boat has undergone a thorough overhaul during the 2020/2021 winter works.

How did you select the crew? In hindsight, would you have made different choices?

– We already knew all the crew members. We had already raced together in the last few years in several offshore and coastal areas. Over the years, a strong harmony has formed and the condition of the spirit that we want in the boat in a regatta: seriousness and commitment, concentration on the result but also serenity, fun, and the ability to accept even the results that leave us a bit of a bitter taste. In 2021, a new member was added to the crew, our strategist and meteorologist, who has an extraordinary experience of the Atlantic, having already done so seven times before this ARC.

You have chosen to tackle this adventure as a couple, as sailing is one of your common passions. What did this experience bring to your couple? Is there any advice you feel like giving?

– This experience has, if possible, increased the desire to experience sailing together! Yoru was designed to be carried in two and we alternate long “double handed” cruises with full crew regattas. The ARC made us take a “leap” that will allow us to dare to go further on a cruise and made us discover in beauty a long coexistence with full crew. They were beautiful and exciting days, to be put into the heritage of common life. Difficult to give advice to other couples. Everyone has their own way!

This year the crossing was particularly hard, with the first days without wind and then with strong winds and confused sea and always very formed. What were the main difficulties you encountered in navigation and what strategies did you put in place to overcome them?

– Yes the weather conditions were difficult, and this surprised us a little. We had been told of a long ride on long waves, weight-bearing gaits and good weather. But this year it did not go that way. We have chosen, in order to reduce the possibility in the first few days of being still in a calm state, of not going south and of touching a depression, anomalous in this season, which was “planted” in the middle of the Atlantic. This also made us go upwind and cross in the first few days, and also take a lot of rain. Then the wind turned to the northeast, and it got stronger, too much, but we started doing very good daily averages. In the second week the wind has always been very strong and the sea challenging for the whole crew, but the sky has become clear and the “ride” to St. Lucia exciting, also because we were gaining positions after positions.

What were the darkest and most beautiful moments?

– The last 24 hours, with strong wind, sea, sun and finally, in the night the sighting of the first lights of the island, the arrival at dawn, were a single exciting moment. The darkest moment was in the night when about 700 miles from the start we had a storm, an important wave and wind even over 40 kt, and Alessandra while resting she flew over the safety nets and injured her forehead. We were afraid and we asked ourselves a little: we could do something

You got an excellent placement (eleventh overol position and third place in cruise class). Are you satisfied with the result? What were your expectations?

– Yes, we are happy with the placement, especially the third in real cruiser, about a hundred, and behind only two boats bigger than us. Yoru’s rating always penalizes us a little in compensation. We knew we could do well, Yoru is a very fast cruising boat and the group is close-knit and of a high standard! We had no reference before the start. We had never faced a regatta like this.

If you could do the race again tomorrow, would you make the same choices again or would you change something?

– We have the desire to do it again in the racer category: we have fun and we like to always aim to improve.

The most important question: how much fun did you have?

– It was wonderful. We sailed in difficult conditions but we didn’t give up on a few aperitifs washed down with champagne. Whenever possible, we listened to blaring music. Yes, we had a lot of fun. The climate on board was splendid. We would leave in the morning.

Where did the decision (or determination) to participate in the ARC come from? What was the strongest spring that pushed you, considering also that, like last year, this year too, contrary to expectations, was a bit of a “COVID ARC”. – The choice was born during the Giraglia. We have realized that the boat is […]

– The choice was born during the Giraglia. We have realized that the boat is a true champion in load-bearing gaits. Having planned to go to the Bahamas in the fall of 2021, we have decided to participate in this regatta, which clearly rewards the characteristics of the 12.

– Well, we signed up, and we were on the waiting list for a couple of months. Before that, however, already in Genoa as soon as we arrived, we proposed to Ambrogio to be our navigator. We have always been big fans of Ambrogio, we have followed him from the beginning in his exploits making a great cheer. He is an excellent navigator and a great champion.

– The most important thing was to put together the right crew: that they had the sailing experience but that they also knew the boat well. And last but not least, that it was in tune with the philosophy of the owners, which I could define as a “reckless competitive goliards”. I would say we succeeded.

– I would say no, it was a great crew that worked wonderfully.

– Faith and I are very close, but we still do not consider ourselves a de facto couple … beyond a few distant hips, we are alas’ still radically straight. But we remain confident for the old age …

– I would say that the main difficulty was facing the first three days of little wind, which tended to come from the bow. These are the worst conditions for the 12, which has little rake, is very supportive and has a lot of wet surface. In addition, the weather was extremely uncertain and fluctuating. Thanks to the guidance of Ambrose, we danced a very delicate waltz with this bulky ridge that separated us from the trade winds. The arrival of the trade winds was a magical moment: at dusk, the sea an oil, the burr coming from the bow started to turn counterclockwise from SW to NE, progressively in about 20 minutes, just rippling the surface of the water. . In the following hours the air slowly rose and since then, except for a small interruption before Cape Verde, it has flown us to St. Lucia. In the southern route that we followed the sea was not confused but rather regular, except for rare moments. The biggest difficulty I would say was that it was the last night when we were surprised by a lump with the jennaker still on. The wind blew at 33-35 knots and we literally flew up to 28 knots of speed. Some tricks to keep the boat on course, we were all on deck. But the boat held up very well. In the whole regatta there was not even a tip.

– There weren’t any dark moments. We were very impressed to meet a migrant boat crossing the Canary Islands on the second morning. There were 50 of them in a small battered launch of a few meters. They asked us to notify the Canaries giving their location. We later learned that they have all arrived safely. The highlight was when we passed the “Guyader” catamaran on the penultimate night. We’d been chasing it for a while and nibbling at it a handful of miles every day.

You have achieved an excellent placement. Are you satisfied with the result? What were your expectations?

– Well of course we are very satisfied. We didn’t expect to win, especially in the IRC rankings. The boat is not maximized for the IRC and we weren’t hoping to give our opponents a lot of gap.

– I don’t know what I’d change. I would do everything the same again.

– Rarely so much in our life.

Congratulations to the crew of Italian flagged yacht 12 Nacira 69 for taking ARC 2021 line honours in Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia, arriving in the early hours of Friday 3 December 2021.

Crossing the line at 03:16:45 local time, following an exciting race to the line with their closest rivals on Guyader Saveol , the crew of the stunning Vismara carbon racer received the warmest of welcomes to Saint Lucia despite the early hour.

Calm winds at the start of the rally, which departed from Las Palmas on Sunday 21 November, were not on the wish list for this sleek 23 meter monohull but as the trade winds finally picked up they made good time during the second half of their 3,188 NM route reaching up to incredible speeds of 28kts.

Spokesperson for the crew, Matteo Grassi, said “Most of the crew have experienced the crossing before but we didn’t expect to get so much wind in the last few days and we did almost 400 NM in one day, the boat is just a missile.”

12 Nacira 69 is owned by Diego Paternò Castello di San Giuliano and Federico Marchi, and skippered on the ARC by Federico Dosso. The crew includes Italian mini-transat sailor Ambrogio Beccaria and yacht designers Matteo Tognetti, Edoardo Mazzucco, and Bernardo Zin.

A very innovative boat, which not only amazes for its clean and elegant lines, but which redefines the standards of “sporty” cruising, with an unprecedented interior layout, which finally divides the sailors area – aft services from the owner area – guests a bow, to the benefit of privacy, comfort and use. 20 meters long, the boat is made entirely of carbon, deckhouse and deck are covered with an innovative cork compound for the benefit of ecology and lightness. The keel in veldox and carbon with a draft of 3.30 meters (possibly telescopic from 2.60 / 3.80) with high stability. Carbon mast, resting on deck to improve safety and lightness, and “space frame” boom. All maneuvers are carried forward on the four three-speed electric whinches positioned transversely for greater ease of use with a reduced crew. The rigs are all recessed in order to create a completely flush deck. In the cockpit there are two sunbathing sofas with dining table and a large, fully retractable spray hood. Inside, a large dinette: on the left side L-shaped sofa for six people with dining table and folding armchairs with special storage compartments; on the right a second “svacco” sofa, TV, and chart / “office” table. Towards the bow, two double guest cabins, wardrobe and private bathroom with shower. At the far bow is the very large owner’s cabin: double wardrobe, private bathroom and separate shower. From the entrance towards the stern, the service areas: kitchen with induction hobs, dishwasher, three fridges, microwave and large countertop, laundry with washing machine and dryer, crew cabin with two bunk beds and wardrobes and service bathroom for crew can also be used as a “day toilet”. The engine room is located under the entrance staircase where the new Nanni 140 HP sail drive engine is installed. On the transom, a large hatch with the functionality of a real swimming platform raised from the water that also has the ability to accommodate a three-meter tender with 15 HP. Very bright and airy interiors thanks to the numerous hatches on the deck and side windows that allow the view outside while comfortably seated on the sofas or beds. The whole is also accompanied by an innovative air conditioning and heating system in “silent mode” thanks to lithium batteries for 8 hours of ecological use at anchor. A new Vismara, as always “state of the art”, ready for demanding and experienced owners.

First boat of MOMI_SAIL Performance in collaboration with Vismara Marine Concepts.

Inside, we find ourselves in front of a large dinette with a double L-shaped sofa along the sides with a double table and a small wardrobe for the oilcloths. Continuing towards the bow, along the corridor, we find on the left a cabin with a bunk bed with wardrobe, and on the right another cabin with a double bed with its own bathroom with shower and wardrobe. Ahead, a large master cabin with large wardrobe, personal sofa and, at the far bow, a bathroom with shower. Going back towards the stern, the service area – crew: to the left of the entrance staircase we find the kitchen with tilting gas burners, oven, dishwasher and a large fridge. Next to the kitchen there is a small service bathroom and immediately after, at the far stern, another cabin with a bunk bed. On the opposite side, a cabin with double bed and private bathroom with shower, and a closet / laundry room with washer-dryer. Its interiors are very bright and airy thanks to the numerous hatches on the deck and the two elongated side windows on the deckhouse. Upholstery in warm colors, oak wood and white painted bulkheads make the environment welcoming and familiar.

All the interiors were created in collaboration with the architect Giacomo Facchini.

The new VXR5 has just been launched.

Evolution of the famous V50 “Dragon” launched in 2015, the first real long-sailing “yacht” equipped with two Sail Drive engines and an innovative exterior – interior layout.

The hull, built in glass / carbon sandwich, is made in such a way as to make the boat as light as possible, and therefore more performing both under sail with little wind and under power.

The VXR5 is designed for long voyages and is endowed with a great self-sufficiency at sea from an energy point of view it is equipped with 1.4 kw of Solbian solar panels that complement the 12V and 24V alternators installed on the 2 motors.

The system is supported by batteries for a total of over 600Ah.

This allows you to feed 2 fridges and a freezer continuously together with the watermaker and occasionally a small AC system.

Autonomy is guaranteed by 2 600l fuel tanks in total and 1300l water tanks.

To maximize smoothness in long sailing trips, a Slips Dophin silicone antifouling has been adopted which guarantees 5 years of unaltered performance.

The cockpit and the interior of the boat are on the same level, without a ladder.

This arrangement, together with large windows, which give a great brightness to the environment, allow you to look outside at 360 ° and to navigate and live indoors, always “sea view”.

Looking inside we find large and very bright spaces: a large dinette divided into two parts: on the left C-shaped sofa with a second swivel dining table with 3 functions, compact with anti-roll edge, open for 6/8 seats and lowered convertible into a bed matrimonial.

On the right side, the kitchen consists of tilting gas burners, double sinks, two refrigerators plus a freezer, oven, large countertop and chart table at the corner towards the bow for internal wheelhouse use.

Continuing forward two cabins: on the left with bunk beds and private wardrobe, while on the right with a double bed.

Immediately after there is a large service bathroom with shower.

At the far bow is the large master cabin with double bed, double wardrobe and private bathroom with shower.

The furnishings are made of oak and the floors in heat-treated oak, both treated with a natural wax-based protective cycle.

All cabins are ventilated thanks to the various hatches on the deck and an air conditioning system.

A big news of the VXR5 is the deck; covered in white synthetic material with fluorescent rubber, excellent for night sailing and “always see where you put your feet”.

The new “ferrari del mare” MOMI 80 was launched today.

Made jointly with expert shipowners and will be marketed with the appropriate identification mark.

The boat is built entirely of sandwich and carbon with a teack deck.

inside, we find ourselves in front of a large dinette with a double L-shaped sofa along the sides with a double table and a small wardrobe for the oilskin.

Continuing towards the bow, along the corridor, we find on the left a cabin with a bunk bed with wardrobe, and on the right another cabin with a double bed with its own bathroom with shower and wardrobe.

Ahead, a large master cabin with large wardrobe, personal sofa and, at the far bow, a bathroom with shower.

Towards the stern the service area – crew: to the left of the entrance staircase we find the kitchen with tilting gas burners, oven, dishwasher and a large fridge.

Next to the kitchen there is a small service bathroom and immediately after, at the far stern, another cabin with a bunk bed.

On the opposite side, a cabin with double bed and private bathroom with shower, and a closet / laundry room with washer-dryer.

Its interiors are very bright and airy thanks to the numerous hatches on the deck and the two elongated side windows on the deckhouse.

The deck is very “minimal” and flush deck.

The new V 63 saw water for the first time.

The new V 63 saw water for the first time.

Born from the Vismara experience and from the merger of three special existing boats, trying to resume the particular characteristics of each: the hull of the V56-Mills “Twin”, deck, interior and concept of the V52 “Dragon”, and the sliding glass above the deckhouse and the large side windows of the V80 “Luce Guida”.

The hull and deck are built in cedar wood and carbon, made in such a way as to make the boat as light as possible.

Salient features of the boat are the cockpit and the interiors which are on the same level, with no stairs to go down; this solution that makes life on board easier and “spacious” by linking the inside with the outside.

This arrangement, together with large windows on the deckhouse sides and in the cabins that give great brightness to the environment, allows you to look outside at 360 °, and to navigate and live indoors always “immersed” in the light of the sea.

The glass along the deckhouse at the front is completely sliding from bow to stern, thus allowing the air to enter the interior and enjoy the “convertible” boat in the open air on the dinette.

At the bow we find the sleeping area: two twin guest cabins, each with its own private bathroom with shower. Further on is the master cabin with separate beds, also with a private bathroom.

The crew cabin is located aft, behind the dinette with bed on the left and bathroom on the right with washing machine.

A brand new concept boat, a sports hull with furnishings – spaces – visibility from a Motoryacht!

“Racer” performance with maximum maneuvering comfort, both under sail and motor.

  With this model a new world opens up; a sail with spaces and brightness similar to those of a motorboat, and above all liveable in all seasons thanks to the immense covered lounge with 360 degree visibility and an internal wheelhouse position.   interior:   Inside you find yourself in front of a large […]

With this model a new world opens up; a sail with spaces and brightness similar to those of a motorboat, and above all liveable in all seasons thanks to the immense covered lounge with 360 degree visibility and an internal wheelhouse position.

Inside you find yourself in front of a large dinette with an L-shaped sofa and a second dining table with a wine cellar on the left; while, another sofa and chart table on the right.

Going towards the stern you go down two stairs, at the bottom of the one on the left we have the kitchen: composed of electric fires, and all possible appliances; followed by the crew area: two beds with private bathroom.

On the right, the service bathroom with shower and a guest cabin with two beds.

At the bow, along the two sides, there are two guest cabins: on the right double bed, large wardrobe and private bathroom; on the left double bed, large wardrobe and private bathroom with shower.

Finally, in the far bow we find the large master cabin with a double bed in the center, two wardrobes and a large private bathroom with toilet, bidet and shower.

The engine room, with two 140 hp sail drive engines installed, is located under the dinette floor.

The interiors are spacious and very bright thanks to the large hull windows and the windows on the deckhouse and on the roof, allowing you to look out while comfortably seated on the sofa.

All the rooms are ventilated from the outside thanks to the numerous hatches positioned on the deck.

Two air conditioning and heating systems are also installed to be able to experience the boat both in summer and in winter in maximum comfort.

The V 80 XR8 completes the range of roof boats designed by Vismara starting from the V 50 Dragon, V 52 XR5, V 63… and now the V 80 XR8.

there are two entrances that lead to the interior, a large power plant, and the second smaller one aft of the cockpit for the crew. Going down inside, we find ourselves in front of a large dinette with a double L-shaped sofa along the sides with a double table and a small wardrobe for the waxed. Continuing towards the bow, along the corridor, we find on the left a cabin with a bunk bed with wardrobe, and on the right another cabin with double bed with its own bathroom with shower and wardrobe. Next, a large master cabin with large wardrobe, personal sofa and, at the extreme bow, bathroom with shower. Behind towards the stern, the service area – crew: to the left of the aft entrance staircase is the kitchen with tilting gas burners, oven, dishwasher and a large fridge. Next to the kitchen there is a small service bathroom and immediately afterwards, at the far stern, another cabin with a bunk bed. On the opposite side, a cabin with double bed and private bathroom with shower, and a closet / laundry room with washer dryer.

A true “ferrari” of the sea for sports use, born for long ocean sailing and to participate in regattas and offshore events, or alternatively make high level charters.

Spacious and comfortable interiors in a classic-modern style, divided into: 4 cabins and 3 bathrooms. The master cabin occupies a large part of the space in the bow, with a private bathroom and separate shower. There is also a sailor cabin separate from the spaces for the owner and guests, in the extreme bow. Innovative […]

What are the last boats that have entered the construction site?

D.L. The latest arrivals are the V54 Brighella, to which we do a very painstaking job … let’s call it a complete chek up of the boat and in addition we re-sell the teak with a new gray coment. And then there is the V54 B5, she will be made several jobs such as a total re-polishing of the interior before putting it on sale.

Are there any other boats arriving?

D.L. Yes, there will be a Swan here that will have to be completely redone due to the big storm that was there this winter … the works will be a total refit and maybe some customization ad hoc for the owners. We will also have a Hanse 50 for which we have designed a new keel that allows a low draft and an improvement in stability and performance.

As for the boats already here for a while … what can you say, and at what point are their works?

D.L. We are at a good point, the work proceeds very well; we have owners and commanders very happy both for the quality and for the timing.

… going down the stairs we can not help but be surprised in front of the great spaces in which we come across entering Nacira 69. Very spacious and comfortable interiors that meet every need of the owner and the entire crew … The first rooms we cross, starting from the stern, are the dinette and a large kitchen on the left. Proceeding towards the bow, along the corridor on the left, you enter the guest and owner’s area: divided into 3 cabins on the right side, a bathroom and a cabin on the left side and a second bathroom on the far end.

On 10 December 2018 the new V40 Weekender was launched, which sees the Vismara Marine in collaboration with the historical Cantiere Alto Adriatico, specialized in wooden boats. With this boat, built almost entirely of wood (red cedar wood from Lebanon), flanked by carbon and sandwich to make it lighter and more modern, the Vismara returns to enhancing what was the madopera of the past. V40 Weekender is designed for outings of a few days, and can accommodate up to six people comfortably thanks to the two bathrooms and the large dinette. The interiors, all in painted wood, are composed of a large dinette with two sofas against the hull, very bright thanks to a glass that allows you to look out at 360 degrees; in the corner on the right is the kitchen with fridge, oven and tilting gas burners, while on the left there is a double cabin with wardrobe. Continuing forward along the corridor, on the left side we find the guest bathroom while on the right the owner’s bathroom; and in the end front, the master cabin … .. in conclusion, a real “suite”.

Tell us about your experience in this Nacira 69 project?

A.D.B. Nacira 69 is a particular project. we have incredible ship owners who ask us for a very fast boat, but at the same time also a cruise boat, this involves a greater idea that one has to develop. The project must be a very light and comfortable boat.

What do you think about the Vismara team?

A.D.B. I found a lot of collaboration and synergy from everyone. And a team of real professionals.

Can we say that Nacira 69 is similar to a larger 60 Imoca?

A.D.B. When we started this project myself and my friend Guillaume Verdier, the mission was to take as an example a boat like the Imoca 60 and apply the characteristics of a cruise boat; this is why the boat is so wide. With a form of avangurdia it allows us to conceive the interiors differently because the hull is wider and flatter. In this boat we can look out more easily than a boat with the tallest hull. In the future, boats will be more and more like this. Nacira 69 is a very extreme boat just like its owner wants it.

Special features of the project?

A.D.B. There are some amusing paradoxes about the project, on the one hand there are some high level aspects of technology such as the tilting keel which must also be raised so that the owner can reach high performance and at the same time also low phonadal zones.

How do you find yourself working with Guillaume Verdier?

A.D.B. This project was the opportunity to work together with my friend Verdier, whom I know since I started my career as a naval architect in 2004. The Nacira 69 was the first real collaboration together. We both have a lot of experience in the world of racing boats, certainly Verdier more than me, I am more focused on design. It is a fantastic collaboration, we are working with friends, but we do not aim to communicate but focus on the project and try to make excellent projects. This boat is the first model and I am very curious to see where we will arrive.

What are the boats that will do a real “cosmetic work”? D.L. Let’s say that the boat we have today in Cantiere, which we will soon examine, will all be more or less subjected to a cosmetic work, as we call it in jargon. Energheia V50, Yoru V62, Twin V56, Castigo B65 and Whisper B56. […]

We are at Vismara Marine in the company of Sebastiano Morassutti della Trimarine – Project Manager of Nacira 69. A boat for all needs? S.R.M. The idea of this boat was born from the needs of the owners who wanted a boat that would allow him to go in the baiette, but at the same […]

The Baltic 65 CASTIGO (formerly STIG) is probably one of the highest performance boats ever built at the Baltic Yachts shipyard.

The deck is painted (not covered in teak) to save weight and to reduce the heel movements.

The deck plan provides a double cockpit and a single access below deck aft.

This allows a very interesting layout with the location of the aft saloon and ample living space at the mezzanine. The interior fittings are of a minimalist style.

Castigo returns to Vismara where he will undergo some restyling work, including: engine replacement and repainting of the hull / deckhouse.

V50 Energheia returns to the viareggino site after some time for some important changes … Launched for the first time in 2011, the V50 Hybrid was born from the will of the Vismara Marine shipyard to take up the motto “clean sea, clean air”, in response to an ever increasing demand for responsibility towards the […]

V50 Energheia returns to the viareggino site after some time for some important changes …

Launched for the first time in 2011, the V50 Hybrid was born from the will of the Vismara Marine shipyard to take up the motto “clean sea, clean air”,

in response to an ever increasing demand for responsibility towards the environment by modern society.

conceived and designed with the aim of becoming a reference point in the global production of recreational sailing boats

that aspire to become true eco-friendly boats.

Some substantial changes will be: farting the keel with the addition of two fins on the bulb in order to decrease the draft and increase its speed, and the addition of a third bathroom for the interior.

The fourth Baltic 56 semi custom model was created for an Italian owner.

The fourth Baltic 56 semi custom model was created for an Italian owner. This is an innovative boat because it is designed to sail in solitary where everything that is not in use must be hidden and within the limits of the possible electrically controlled or hydraulic pumps, but without affecting the displacement. Whisper will be submitted to the 2018 refitting program; The Vismara Marine refitting team will follow the work of changing the consoles and replacing the rudders. On the covered deck will be added winch and mainsail basket. As for the interior, the kitchen will be modified by making the hob tilting, an air conditioning system will be installed, and finally the mast and boom will be modified to improve the sail rig.

With great surprise at the port of Viareggio back Kirribilli … boat born from the idea developed by the architect Renzo Piano in collaboration with Vismara in the year 2001.

With great surprise at the port of Viareggio back Kirribilli … boat born from the idea developed by the architect Renzo Piano in collaboration with Vismara in the year 2001.

The main feature of this boat is to combine advanced construction technology, research in hydrodynamics and performance, a sober elegance in perfect Piano style.

The monocoque structure with hull and high thickness sandwich cover also allows the almost total elimination of secondary reinforcement structures, leaving smooth and continuous surfaces inside the boat. Thus the constant continuity between all the hull, deck and bulk surfaces is perceived, which are connected by wide radii that create a continuous structure, a uniform monolithic component. The opening bow which contains the anchor and the design wheelhouse is very interesting.

Red Carpet started from Viareggio and is under way to Las Palmas de Gran Canarias. Here, in November, he will take part in one of the most famous regattas in the world … the dream of all the sailors … the ARC

Ocean Maxy 70 is a yacht that continues to have value over time and is a true sailing yacht for those who love the purity of sailing. The Vismara Ocean Maxy 70 benefits from a hull built entirely of carbon and composite glass, designed to guarantee low weight, low vibration and soft entry into the waves. This consideration is particularly important for longer offshore passages as this attention reduces fatigue for both the crew and the yacht, while significantly reducing transit times. The Vismara brand telescopic keel offers a variable draft of 2.60 m to 3.80 m, which should guarantee optimum sailing performance. Its equipment is completely made of carbon and is equipped with a platform to allow optimal use of the spaces below. A roller shutter has been specified to offer the benefits of performance and control of a full-battened mainsail, with the pulsating simplicity that requires a short-range offshore cruiser. Finally, its double rudder configuration guarantees precision and millimeter control at all boat speeds.

Below deck, the new Ocean Maxy 70 boasts a spacious and comfortable interior in classic / modern style finished in teak and oak with large hull windows and clear bulkheads. The layout is divided into four bed cabins with three large head compartments. In the bow locker there is a crew cabin kept separate from the guest areas. The large living room is centrally located with a closed kitchen and the engine room is aft with a generator positioned under the entrance of the companionway. Behind its guest cabins there is a large garage that can accommodate a 3.20 m tender with a 15-horsepower outboard.

Vismara 69 Nacira arrived this morning at the gates of the Viareggio shipyard … ready to be completed.

… So many new surprises!

Vismara is working with the best professionals to offer an engineered platform on which you can develop and build a fast cruiser. The brand new Nacira 69 is a collaboration between the Parisian designer Axel de Beaufort for the concept of style, Guillaume Verdier for the design of sail plans, the structural design of Pure Engineering in New Zealand and Vismara Marine for construction, engineering and the installation. The mantra of Vismara Marine. To be able to manage the boat with the smallest crew thanks to an intelligent and advanced design of the sail plan, a powerful hull shape designed to minimize drag and weight distribution by positioning the center of gravity to the minimum physically possible. Using the IMOCA 60 as inspiration, Nacira V69 benefits from design choices to create a boat with lower loads and easier maneuverability, thus increasing safety for the entire crew and greatly aiding movements inside and outside the marinas. The hull is built entirely of carbon pre-preg to achieve the light weight possible in addition to a sustained increase in speed.

58th Genova International Boat Show – Interview with Alessandro Vismara

A.V.”Most satisfying exhibition, many interesting elements, positive trend in visitor turnout and above all interesting clientele.         

 Great movement and innovation in the world of engine and engines with fresh solutions

A.V.” Satisfaction confirmed by the President Alessandro Vismara even if the question is what did not work “swollen sails”? 

A.V.”Unfortunately, the fascination of the fair is always a bit lacking in the organization, but there is all the power to improve … it will certainly improve” What does the president say about the sailing world? 

“The sailing world emphasizes above all the solutions found inside the boats, in the liveability of the spaces and there is no exception in the navigation of sailing boats.        

 We who continue to innovate feel the world of sailing that languishes and that the interest moves on boats like catamarans where then the shipowners end up buying motor boats to find more comfort. ”

Thanks to Alessandro Vismara and great expectations for the news that will be there for the 2019 season.

What are the prospects for the future? A.P. For the future we are planning a second light enginereplacement always refit Vismara. Before winter we willtravel along the seas of Greece from the Ionian Sea to theAegean Sea. Tell me about your “151 Miles”  A.P. Immediately after the launch we decided to race the“151 Miles” to test the boat and l? huge set of sails thatcomposes it. During the race we started really well and wefought for 4th place. Unfortunately for a series of poordecisions we lost many locations during the night due to lack of wind letting us finish in 9th place. It was funny how racebecause we had aboard the troup rai television “blue line”which conducted the shooting with the intent to broadcastan episode related to regatta 151 Miles “. The boat is reallyformidable, thanks to a cutting-edge rig and canting keelboat covers no less than 12 knots even in light winds. I want to conclude with a special thanks to the team of refitand to all components of the shipyard Vismara for theirwork and their company!

Has   finally   taken   off   our   old   lady;   the   B78   “Wolf   of   the   sea” by   commanding   the   young   Alessandro Pin. What jobs were held on board the vessel during the refit? 

A.P.   The   works   that   have   been   performed   are   made   of   two different   solutions.   The   first   relates   to   the   larger   jobs   or   two openings   with   stained   glass   on   the   left   side   of   the   boat   (in saloon   and   owner’s   cabin);   then   the   redesign   of   the   transom, making   it   more   modern   (classical   open   Stern);   in   the   end   the downsizing   of   sofa   dinette.   The   second   part   covered   a general   review   of   all   systems   and   equipment,   followed   by   a restore. Are you happy with how the works were carried out?

A. P. I   am   very   satisfied,   short-time   and   quality.   In   addition when   they   came   some   slight   inconvenience   on   board,   the team   Vismara   was   present   and   he   immediately   proceeded   to we   solve   problems. What are the prospects for the future?

A.P.   For   the   future   we   are   planning   a   second   light   engine replacement   always   refit   Vismara.   Before   winter   we   will travel   along   the   seas   of   Greece   from   the   Ionian   Sea   to   the Aegean   Sea. Tell me about your “151 Miles” 

A.P.   Immediately   after   the   launch   we   decided   to   race   the “151   Miles”   to   test   the   boat   and   l?   huge   set   of   sails   that composes   it.   During   the   race   we   started   really   well   and   we fought   for   4th   place.   Unfortunately   for   a   series   of   poor decisions   we   lost   many   locations   during   the   night   due   to   lack of   wind   letting   us   finish   in   9th   place.   It   was   funny   how   race because   we   had   aboard   the   troup   rai   television   “blue   line” which   conducted   the   shooting   with   the   intent   to   broadcast an   episode

WAITING FOR 26/05/2018

Great excitement in the Vismara marine shipyard.

All ready for the big event.

More than a few hours now before the launch of BEBIVI V100B the great lady of the seas, as we like to call it, will bring its elegance and majesty to the seas.

As our President Alessandro Vismara says: “Since 1984 our history has been driven by continuous innovation and the V100B is the maximum expression to date.”

Now there is nothing but to wait patiently for the moment.

Marco Mallegni, one of the construction managers together with Davide Valesi, his superior in this project.

How would you define this boat?

M.M. The 100 is a very fast cruising sailboat, and on the other side has all the comforts of a motoryacht.

Difficulties encountered?

M.M. The difficulty is in the organization, the management of all these workers has brought a bit of difficulty because each one has its needs and its problems.

From the point of view of the structural parts we did not have big problems because carbon is part of our life.

How many have you worked there?

M.M. More than thirty people have worked on the boat.

What is the greatest satisfaction?

M.M. It is a great challenge for the building site and also on a personal level: no one had ever done such a project.

There is a certain emotion and see from a sheet of paper to the actual realization, but the greatest emotion will be to see it navigate.

The beauty of working in Vismara?

M.M. The nice thing about working in Vismara is to build boats “no convencional yacht” – and this boat is too.

V50 Victoria, Baltic 50 year 2000, Vismara – Baltic, telescopic keel and hydraulic maneuvers, magic trim to the mainsail, vang furling and hydraulic backstai.

After various refitting works such as teak tracing, repainting of the stern seat, hull and deck polishing brought back to zero,

is one of the boats that will return to these days.

As Damiano Lancia, service manager-responsible for the refitting area, tells “personally this is the boat I would like, elegant, fast, classic interiors but very tender deck.

But where do we find the true “rejuvenation” of this elegant lady of the seas? It is interior layout to be renewed.

Complete reconstruction of the aft cabin with a new layout with two double beds.

As always we wander inside the Vismara Marine Shipyard with a watchful eye on the progress of the work of the boats in production. Nothing to say. To be the leader for its majestic tonnage is the V100B, which currently we find it really at a good point, I would dare say “next to the […]

As always we wander inside the Vismara Marine Shipyard with a watchful eye on the progress

of the work of the boats in production.

Nothing to say. To be the leader for its majestic tonnage is the V100B, which currently we find it really at a good point,

I would dare say “next to the launch”.

Once the keel has been put and the rudders have been set, we see the men of the Vismara commit themselves with constancy, determination and professionalism.

More and more excitement and excitement can be felt on board the V100B.

We return enthusiastically to the outside of the shipyard where we are soon to launch Lupa of London, much ahead with the works like

tells us his captain Alessandro Pin.

Stern done! We had left it to complete the interior and today we find Lupa of London with a new layout,

finally ready to welcome his own owners and guests.

Speaking of interiors we go to visit Victoria where the work of transformation began. (Soon we will try to get to know her better)

In front of us we find IL gatto e la volpe where the refitting and transformation works continue.

Laura Cappelletti responsible for the design area tells the peculiarities of this boat.

Nacira 69 is a very complex boat, born from the collaboration with Axel de Beaufort & Guillaume Verdier Pure Design and Engineering Cariboni.

It is a cruising boat with a decisive direction towards performing performance. Teak on board makes one think of a heavy boat, but the construction is made of pre-impregnated laminates and open-cell foam sandwich.

Great interest in making the light boat. In fact, many of the wardrobes will be made of fabric to further lighten the weight and insert as always innovative items.

The deck is totally custom and has been done a great job of study and research because everything must be in harmony.

An element of great study, Laura continues to tell us, is the drift that saw the participation of everyone and above all it was the design phase in which there were continuous exchanges of innovative ideas with winning results.

As for its interiors are simple and extremely elegant.

Today Alessandro Vismara begins to unveil the first images of the V40 Weekender under construction in collaboration with the Alto Adriatico shipyard.

During his interview we could appreciate how much work and experience is behind this world and the true passion where he leads.

Bearing in mind always that we are at Vismara A.V. “We want to navigate in a fast and light way”, Alessandro also says that with this boat we want to return to the

culture “of how boats were made”.

Classic lines, stern narrow, the interior strictly in painted wood and will certainly have a mix of essences that will bring a touch of originality.

As always, Vismara has brought innovation to the use of wood associated with ccarbonio.

The materials used are the red cedar of Ebano, extremely light wood, inside sendwich to give lightness and carbon fibers to give rigidity.

With this boat The Vismara team wants to try to regenerate the pleasure of being on board.

This week the Vismara shipyard has started to release the first two boats V56 Twin and V80 Luce Guida Guide. The first to go in the water on April  Twin as told by the very young captain Matteo Carbone of only 22 years: “Following the refitting of the V56 Mills was a lot of fun […]

This week the Vismara shipyard has started to release the first two boats V56 Twin and V80 Luce Guida Guide. The first to go in the water on April  Twin as told by the very young captain Matteo Carbone of only 22 years: “Following the refitting of the V56 Mills was a lot of fun and the Vismara team has always been decisive.” the other queen of the seas is Luce Guida ready for the new season with his captain Simone Bergamaschi who will soon take us on board the boat illustrating the transformation and the new look of Luce Guida. “Boats going and coming.” The construction of Vismara 68 is a project that arises from the need of a foreign owner to face the world of regatta with a competitive boat. Thanks to the collaboration of the Mills studio, we hope that it will have the same success if not greater than the others. The deck plan featuring high performance components adapts to a high level prepared crew.

“ back in the water”

Vismara 56 TWIN | Vismara – Mills

Today for this occasion we did a short interview with the young captain Matteo Carbone,

who will tell us about the refitting work that has been done to the boat.

Who is Matteo Carbone?

M.C. My name is Matteo Carbone, I am 22 years old, I live in La Spezia and I am following the procedure to become a captain of recreational craft.

At the moment I follow the Vismara 56 Twin. The boat is very recent, the owners are two brothers from which the name.

What refitting work has been done for Twin?

M.C. This year, routine maintenance and some minor changes have been made to simplify the use of on-board equipment. In particular, the application of rollers for the descent and ascent of the tender in water, the change of some floats in the tanks, change of button panels for lights and some touch-up of paint on deck.

The owners are long-standing customers of the shipyard, have built or refitted about 8 boats with Vismara, and as from the first continue to renew their confidence in the shipyard and its staff with this 56 launched at the end of 2016.

The solutions on the boat are devoted to cruising but always with an eye to the performance thanks to the slender water lines, the carbon mast and the generous sail plan that allows you to arm on the comfortable dolphin blender and other sails aft.

M.C. I would like to give special thanks to the refit workers who are implementing my little shipbuilding experience with continuous advice and guidance, particularly in the person of Maurizio, the site manager and others who have dealt with the Twin refit.

Thanks also to all the staff vismara, from Damiano my reference figure for virtually everything.

On April 3rd we go in the water, followed by a long cruise between Sardinia and Greece, but I have no doubt we will return here in October for the winter.

A boat made of duglas red cedar wood with carbon structures.

First collaboration between Vismara Marine and the Alto Adriatico Monfalcone shipyard to re-launch in a modern way the use of visible technological wood together with composite materials.

The Vismara studio continues once again to follow the path of innovation, creating a new point of reference for “luxury daysail yachts” . It has an extremely clean and rational deck with a large cockpit. Carbon mast with maneuvers sent back under deck thus leaving a wide walkable surface free. Once again this boat confirms the excellence between comfort and performance.

Welcome shark!

The Big bulb of the V100 arrived at the shipyard. There is excitement aboard the most luxurious yacht ever built by the Vismara Marine group. Extending the deck in teak, we can see, going down under deck, the interiors take shape. Functionality and comfort for the owners and guests. The extraordinary harmony between interior and exterior means that life on board becomes pleasant in every space both inside and out. Vismara 100 has all the characteristics of a yacht that will change the sailing world. Once again the Vismara group has managed to transfer from paper to construction a boat that meets the needs of its owner. As always, the DNA Vismara reconfirms itself to be strong and healthy. Vismara 100B is the perfect combination between high technology and extraordinary comfort. Its interior spaces offer practicality and elegance a concentrate of beauty and functionality. Large areas where body and mind regenerate where comfort is assured and the mind is gratified by a refined design.

Nacira 69 puts the blanket.

Nacira increasingly takes shape with the addition of the covered floor that will be clean, with few references embedded in the structure.

Nacira has a single cockpit, spacious and comfortable for cruising cruises, with double wheelhouse. The tree is resting on deck, supported at the base by a complex carbon system.

The internal layout includes four cabins and four bathrooms with two exclusive showers and an original solution with dinette and kitchen positioned aft. The entire sleeping area is instead at the bow. The finishes and the bulkheads will be paneled with wood and leather, and all the interiors have been designed with a clean and rigorous style, but equally welcoming. The constant research of the Vismara team in finding advanced solutions affirming the Vismara style: A.V. our main DNA is to be the free number to turn to on all the themes of the yacht.

Damiano Lancia, manager – responsible for the refitting area, talks about the second refitting of one of the symbol boats Vismara, LUCE GUIDA an 80 feet of elegance and majesty.

How long time have you been part of the Vismara team? D.L. 3 years Your role in the company?

D.L. Customer care / service manager, responsible for the refit area

What do you think is the best strategy to conduct a perfect refitting that will satisfy the company and the owner?

D.L. The strategy varies a lot depending on the type of refit, then type of boat and types of work required, but also very much depending on the owner: if I had to define a base line I would go on a discounted cliche that is the respect of timing, quality of processing and optimization of time to commit resources on several fronts at the same time so as not to overlap work and be able to move forward on multiple orders simultaneously.

But what I consider fundamental is the relationship of trust that must be established with the shipowner, both from a human and professional point of view: keeping it up to date, involving it where it is necessary, NOT involving it when it is not needed, giving a formal communication that also includes a a human relationship, always explaining the reasons for the choices made and being ready to listen to it, always assessing how important a request is for him, consistent with the boat’s philosophy, technically feasible and how much it can affect the timing of the shipyard: for that it is fundamental to understand the owner, as he uses the boat and how the boat was born and was designed

The most complex work of this refitting?

D.L. 2 things: Building a part of the deckhouse that was born from the window and transform it into a continuous area creating 2 new flush-mountings for the aft guest cabins Replace the original bow thruster with a retractable and more powerful model: we had to modify the sailor cabin, obtain a new wheel and a new access ladder to make room for the more cumbersome machinery, closed the existing tunnel by re-gluing part of the hull

The funniest thing about this refitting?

D.L. The crew

And joking aside I had a lot of fun designing and designing personally (which I rarely do now) is all the new tenadalino and spray hood that will follow the tapered line of the deckhouse and the new stern sundress strongly desired by the owner and designed so that is: usable as locker, then openable, easily removable (for example in the case of a regatta) and with a perimetral led band at the bottom for a scenic effect on the quay

To this I add that every boat, despite the stress and complexity here we are faced by the whole refit team in a serene atmosphere that gives way to have moments on board in which there is occasionally some laughter: it’s the beauty and the luck of be part of a team of professionals who like to do this job, perhaps the real added value to be able to be “unique” in this kind of transformation

Here we are inside the Vismara shipyard, where around us we can admire how much attention and determination the Vismara team carries on the work on these ladies of the sea. As we anticipated last time we find ourselves under the stern of Luce Guida to which the transformation works have almost come to an […]

Here we are inside the Vismara shipyard, where around us we can admire how much attention and determination the Vismara team carries on the work on these ladies of the sea. As we anticipated last time we find ourselves under the stern of Luce Guida to which the transformation works have almost come to an end, as the captain Simone Bergamaschi explains to us during the interview: work has begun on widening the stern to increase the space inside the garage and at the same time transform the stern into a large sundeck. Another process that will be further elaborated will be the anchoring system; but we’ll see later. Back to the shipyard we come across Vismara 100, beautiful and “huge”; here too the work proceeds quickly and with a strong team spirit between the Vismara team. We are again on board Lupa of London together with the very young captain Alessandro Pin who during the interview leads us inside the boat pointing out the refit work to which our lady of the seas is subjected. With enthusiasm and precision he describes the main processes such as the windows that are replaced with a different material and the transom that is done as Pin tells us a real transformation: >. Thanking our two captain who have shown us the working phases we can anticipate that soon we will get to know the Commander of the V100 and the commander of the Gatto e la Volpe;

The Cossutti Design Studio handles the naval architecture of the V66 Cossutti: from the words of engineer Maurizio Cossutti, here is a picture of the design of the new fast cruiser’s naval architecture

MC – The project was born as an “open” collaboration: even though we handle the naval architecture – hull lines, sail plan, keel and helm, weights and stability tests – and the Vismara team works on the general concept, internal and external layout and on engineering, in practice we have a continuous exchange. Our contribution is bringing experience to the development of high-performing marine hulls: an aspect that unites us with Vismara Marine, and the V66 Cossutti was born from this dialogue.

Why did the shipowner prefer a custom vessel? MC – The shipowner is an exacting sailor who uses the boat with their family year-round (even in challenging conditions), loves beautiful things but doesn’t want luxury for its own sake, giving the right value to choices and investments. They are part of an expert clientele, but also current with the times, which, as we observed during visits to the most recent salons, is a growing group that standard builders are unable to satisfy.

Could you tell us more about the technical aspects you are working on? MC – We are working on a layout and features that make the vessel, more than 20 meters long, manageable with a small crew even in challenging conditions: hull shapes that contribute to stability, engineering that will replace the weight of a possibly-large crew in the gunwale (not wanted in this case), the deck and rigging that is designed to be simple and accessible, as sheltered as possible from wind and waves. We will also get a new concept of the lifting keel: deep enough to guarantee stability and generous ??, but also offering the possibility of comfortably entering roadsteads and ports when lifted.

An enjoyable ship in all respects… MC – Yes, from sailing to mooring: a bow with “V” sections, in fact, guarantees good passage on waves whether using sails or the motor, while exits at the stern that are not flat, and are at a certain height from the water, avoid bothersome clunks on the hull when mooring.

How do you work, and with what instruments? MC – Like all offices of advanced design, we develop the project entirely on three-dimensional model and this facilitates the dialogue with Vismara Marine and allows for optimal integration of the project from the beginning. Also, our study has performances between the highlights, therefore in recent in recent years we have invested in calculation and performance software, which we tested and developed with our work on regatta ships, and we use it for all of our projects.

Vismara Marine announces two new productions.

Vismara Marine’s year began with the announcement of two new ships. Currently in an advanced design stage, the V 66 Cossutti is an ultra-comfortable fast cruiser, while the V 68 Mills is an innovative, fun and aggressive racer.

The V66 Cossutti and V68 Mills, while different in their approach, are fruit of Vismara Marine’s incredible versatility, being able to respond to needs and requests that are sometimes very different, without betraying their adherence to their DNA: innovation, lightness and design. Furthermore, Vismara’s design staff once again wanted to team up with designers that, for their skills and innovation, represent excellence in their respective areas, with the goal of generating the best choices for the specific project: Marc Mills of Marc Mills Design for the hull waterlines of the V68 Mills, and architect Lucio Micheletti for the interior layout and style; Cossutti Design Studio for the naval architecture of the V66 Cossutti.

The V66 Cossutti will be a vessel that is modern but not extreme in its choices, with smooth navigation and comfortable interiors, yet fun to maneuver and very fast, to be at the height of the shipowner’s skills. An advanced but classic design, which will keep its value intact over time. The hull is made of a pre-impregnated carbon sandwich, the mast of carbon, excellent ?? are supported by a significant/valuable keel (which is retractable for entering ports or roadsteads), there is a double helm and it is possible to sail with a small crew. The interior, spacious and bright thanks to a glass deckhouse, includes a central dinette, four cabins and three bathrooms, and an internal garage.

The V68 Mills, on the other hand, is an evolved, bold design for a light, high-performing vessel without forgetting coastal navigation. It is inspired by the multi-award winning Supernikka, but reworked and renewed on the basis of the shipowner’s ideas. V 68 Mills will be built with the most advanced carbon laminating techniques, using pre-impregnated composites. The rigging will be easily accessible and the vessel will be equipped with a carbon mast and a lifting keel with hydraulic motion (for stability, performance and ease of use). The interior will have light colors and simple and strict design, with structural furniture in order to increase rigidity; it will have four cabins and four bathrooms, with a large central dinette.

Working as a staff is a Vismara tradition. In fact, the company has always worked alongside designers and experts to meet the goals of every single project as quickly and as best as possible, as architect Alessandro Vismara, President of Vismara Marine tells us.

Working as a staff is a Vismara tradition. In fact, the company has always worked alongside designers and experts to meet the goals of every single project as quickly and as best as possible, as architect Alessandro Vismara, President of Vismara Marine tells us.

AV – Ever since I, as a young designer, began collaborating on new vessels, I have sought to team up with important designers and shipyards: I have always thought that working with “the good ones” would allow me to learn an incredible amount. Even just observing a great colleague allows one to learn a lot about the work itself, but also about organization and method, which, in my opinion, are aspects just as important as technical competence. With time I opened my own studio and eventually we created the Vismara Marine of today: even now, as handlers of the project on the shipowner’s behalf, we seek to work as a staff whenever possible in order to offer the best to every project. Indeed, for us it is a source of pride to be able to expand our collaborations and offer our clients the best skills for every single aspect of their vessel. For years our design office has actively and continuously collaborated with some of the most famous and accredited specialists, from Mark Mills of the Mills Design Studio to Guillaume Verdier, from Rolf Vrolijk to German Frers, just to name a few; with architects Luca Dini and Lucio Michelotti, and with some of the most innovative production companies, such as Cariboni. Thanks in part to our partners’ contribution, we seek to guide the shipowner as best as possible in their choices, in line with the project itself, and with respect to their needs. Together, relying on professionalism and science-based design methods, we seek to gather excellence for a common objective: create the best vessel for the shipowner’s dream.

These days the situation at the Vismara Marine shipyard is rather crowded. In the last few weeks, Twin , Luce Guida – after the triumph at the Salone in Genoa – and Lupa of London have arrived for various operations, while the V52 and V100B are under construction.

Twin will undergo routine works, while the Lupa of London – Baltic 78 from 2000 – faces more important operations: the stern will be opened to enlarge the deck spaces, and furthermore the glazing of the hull and a restyling of the interior are planned.

For Luce Guida , instead, the large glazing of the dinette, which covers it entirely, will be modified: of course, neither the exceptional brightness nor the possibility of opening the frontal portion will be affected, but the part near the stern will be modified in order to obtain more effective openings for the two cabins adjacent to the dinette.

For V52 and V100B , the completion of installations and interiors is underway.

Seemingly different, they actually have in common the same philosophy: fun Fast Cruisers for navigation even with a reduced crew, comfortable and safe for long stays, they have very large spaces and on the same level from the cockpit to the dinette, extraordinary brightness and outside visibility, and numerous innovative solutions on both the sailing and engineering and installation sides. V100B , however, is a ship of notably larger scale and will introduce Vismara Marine to the world of maxi yachts . With the complexities of a ship, it requires respectable construction expertise. And that is what we will talk to you about next.

At the moment the hull is ready; the staff is finishing the outfitting of the engine room, the general equipment, and the painting of the hull is underway.

Marco Mallegni, with Vismara Marine for eight years now and coordinator of the construction of V100B, talks about the building complexity of a vessel that is not large, from its measurements to the design, but also strongly innovative.

Marco Mallegni , with Vismara Marine for eight years now and coordinator of the construction of V100B , talks about the building complexity of a vessel that is not large, from its measurements to the design, but also strongly innovative.

MM – My role for V100B ? I handle the coordination of all the work, under the direction of Davide Valesi .

Why is V100B important for Vismara Marine? MM – Not only does it encompass a great innovative position, the measurement of 100” has required us to change gears at all levels. From the design, internally managed with some collaborations (Architetto Sempi for the interior, Rossocarbon for the keel and delifinera), to the construction, to the entire phase of verification and optimization after the launch. Furthermore, 100” already presents the complexities of a ship: from certifications to the measurement of the piping; the kitchen, for example, is separate from other areas and is coated with fireproof material.

What do you like most about the V100B? MM – The keel, by Rossocarbon, which was optimized for us: retractable and featuring a Velox blade, it allows us to go from a depth of 4.60 m to 2.60 m for entering ports and at roadstead. The movement is hydraulic, the blade is blocked, with a highly reliable mechanism, with two pistons that compress it inside the mast, and a mechanical block serves as further security.

What was the most complicated thing to manage? MM – The engineering portion: both for the necessary certifications and its complexity, while on the structural and sailing side we have been decidedly run-in. Some examples: the electrical switchboards (1.5 x 1 m) arrived here already hardwired, we have two 35 Kw lithium battery generators, the piping is like those in homes and we must plan for a very different space than the usual.

V100B is an important ship because, with it, Vismara Marine enters the world of mega yachts. A passage that required a change of tone at all levels, especially since we handled every aspect, from the design to the future launch planned for next spring. A new level of work that Vismara approached by using the […]

V100B is an important ship because, with it, Vismara Marine enters the world of mega yachts .

A passage that required a change of tone at all levels, especially since we handled every aspect, from the design to the future launch planned for next spring.

A new level of work that Vismara approached by using the best of 32 years of work in the design and construction of unique and strongly innovative vessels .

Each of them has represented a step ahead in all aspects, from the vision to the creation of always-new solutions, to the acquisition of unprecedented construction techniques, with unique results.

Nacira V69, currently under construction, is one of Vismara Marine’s latest projects. Once again, VM chooses collaboration for devising and creating a special boat: it will be supported by an excellent team composed of the “right people” to meet the shipowner’s objectives.

Nacira V69 , currently under construction, is one of Vismara Marine’s latest projects. Once again, VM chooses collaboration for devising and creating a special boat: it will be supported by an excellent team composed of the “right people” to meet the shipowner’s objectives.

Hydrodynamics and the sail plan were designed by the “genius” Guillaume Verdier , styling and concept were handled by the Parisian stylist Alex de Beaufort , and the structure was designed by the scientists at Pure Engineering . The final touch is the innovative canting lifting keel from Cariboni .

The hull has just come off the mold, and the first bulkheads, which will be glued and then laminated to the structure, will be assembled this week. Following the most innovative techniques, the hull consists of a sandwich with a pre-impregnated carbon fiber skin and a Corecell interior of varying thickness and weight. The layering was done on a female mold with a vacuum-sealed technique: first the external skin, then the layers of Corecell were glued on, and finally the interior skin layer was added. Each operation was subject to a vacuum-sealed curing cycle in an 80° oven, a constructive technique that permits greater control over the various layers and therefore also on the final result.

Outside the mold it will be even easier to assemble the bulkheads in the hull. Additionally, it will be possible to conduct a complete ultrasound inspection of both the interior and exterior.

Nacira is taking shape !

Sebastiano Rech Morassutti of Trimarine, Nacira Project Manager, is following the construction of the new vessel on behalf of the shipowner. Here are his reflections on the construction techniques adopted.

SRM – Nacira was devised as a boat that would be both fast and competitive in races—but also pleasant when cruising—for an informed shipowner with considerable technical and navigational skills. The hull is built in carbon with a Corecell interior, while the cover and bulkheads are Nomex honeycomb, all in the name of weightlessness and, therefore, competitiveness and maneuverability.

Why the choice of technique with a female mold? SRM – The female mold permits a better external finish, which is useful for a vessel that is born to be fast; it also allows to get a perfect control on weights during putty and paint cycle.

What arrangements were adopted into the construction process? SRM – It is very important that the oven temperature be consistent, as it was in this case, so that the hardening – the polymerize process – of the structure is uniform at all points. The oven we use, a large chamber that contains the entire mold, also has an internal temperature detection for the different hull areas, in order to control the process. Furthermore, we also chose to bake, or “cure” as we also say in our jargon, every single layer after its installation. This process adds more time, but it offers greater accuracy and security for the end result.

How are you able to carry out an inspection of the hull before moving on with the next phases of work? SRM – We arrange for an ultrasound inspection, which can reveal any potential discontinuities in the layering…it’s like having a sonogram! And, if anything shows up, it’s much better to act at this phase rather than when boat is built. Or even already at sea…

What does it mean to be the Project Manager of such an innovative boat? SRM – It is an adventure, and at the same time a great satisfaction. The Project Manager role is about control, but at the same time it is important his support in design and building; it is interpreting and balancing the needs and interests of the shipowner with the design, planning and experience of the shipyard (and in this case, both are “number ones”). The goal, realizing the boat at its best, is the same.

How are Vismara boats created? Going to Vismara is like sitting in a tailor’s studio. But it doesn’t start with leafing through a catalog, rather with a blank sheet. Alessandro Vismara, President at Vismara Marine: Usually the starting point is a dream, that of the shipowner, and in order to give it substance they are […]

How are Vismara boats created? Going to Vismara is like sitting in a tailor’s studio. But it doesn’t start with leafing through a catalog, rather with a blank sheet.

Alessandro Vismara , President at Vismara Marine: Usually the starting point is a dream, that of the shipowner, and in order to give it substance they are immediately asked to answer three questions: how they will use the boat, where they want to sail, and with whom. From these simple answers it is already possible to identify the basic orientation: if it will be a vessel for cruising or racing, for sailing the Mediterranean or in the ocean, too, with a small crew or just family members, or perhaps even for a luxury charter. Each boat is unique and special. The design is a joint effort with the shipowner, from the first sketches on a blank page to the complete design, that is of course realized with the most modern design programs, relying on the advanced techniques of simulation and control. We often collaborate with specialists and designers that specialize in the most suitable techniques for the realization of the project to which we are giving shape time after time.

Nuovo e importante successo per SuperNikka, il Vismara Mills 62 RC di Roberto Lacorte che oggi, nelle acque della Costa Smeralda, si è aggiudicato la Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup nella classe Mini Maxi RC1.

Per la barca armata e timonata dal 49enne imprenditore pisano Lacorte, Vicepresidente e Amministratore Delegato dell’azienda Pharmanutra, che a bordo poteva contare sul talento e l’esperienza del tattico Tommaso Chieffi – in equipaggio, tra gli altri, anche Enrico Zennaro, il portoghese Diego Cayolla e Andrea Fornaro – si tratta della seconda affermazione, dopo il successo ottenuto nel 2015 a pochi mesi dal varo, nella celebre manifestazione organizzata dallo Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, la più importante a livello internazionale dedicata ai Maxi, quest’anno inserita nel contesto dei festeggiamenti dei 50 anni del sodalizio fondato nel 1967 da SA l’Aga Khan e di cui Riccardo Bonadeo è il Commodoro.

“Quello di SuperNikka è il successo di un vero equipaggio, che merita un bel dieci con lode per quanto fatto in questi giorni”, sono le prime parole di Roberto Lacorte appena rientrato a terra. “La cosa più bella di questa settimana, è che ho potuto contare su un equipaggio di veri professionisti, sia a livello tecnico che umano, persone che hanno compreso a fondo i miei obiettivi e hanno dato il massimo per raggiungerli. Nella vittoria di SuperNikka è prevalsa la squadra ed è una soddisfazione doppia, visto che quella di quest’anno è stata un’edizione molto importante della Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup. Anche a livello personale sono molto felice”, conclude l’armatore toscano, che ricopre anche il ruolo di Vicepresidente dell’International Maxi Association (IMA). “A giugno, con il Cetilar Villorba Corse, abbiamo ottenuto un risultato molto importante alla 24 Ore di Le Mans, che ho concluso al nono posto, il settimo di classe, dividendo la guida della nostra Dallara P217 con Giorgio Sernagiotto e Andrea Belicchi: ora è arrivata anche questa vittoria, quindi non posso che essere ampiamente soddisfatto del mio 2017”.

“Vincere qui a Porto Cervo non è stato facile, perché i nostri avversari sono stati tutti molto bravi”, aggiunge il famoso tattico Tommaso Chieffi. “Aggiudicarsi questo trofeo è sempre un’emozione particolare, anche per chi, come me, ha già avuto modo di vincere diverse volte le regate dei Maxi: c’è tanta gioia e c’è altrettanta soddisfazione per aver fatto davvero un ottimo lavoro come equipaggio”.

SuperNikka, un progetto di Mark Mills varato nel 2015, ha ottenuto una vittoria e quattro secondi posti nelle cinque regate costiere disputate da lunedì tra le isole dell’Arcipelago della Maddalena, uno score che non ha lasciato scampo ai quotati avversari, consentendo alla barca italiana, che gareggia per lo Yacht Club Repubblica Marinara di Pisa, di aggiudicarsi il successo nella classe Mini Maxi RC1 davanti al Wally 60 Wallino e allo Swan 601 Wohpe.

COMUNICATO STAMPA – 30 AGOSTO 2017

In programma dal 3 al 9 settembre a Porto Cervo, nelle limpide e ventose acque della Costa Smeralda, la Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup, uno degli eventi più importanti della stagione velica internazionale, anche quest’anno potrà contare sulla presenza di SuperNikka, il Vismara Mills 62 RC armato e timonato dall’imprenditore pisano Roberto Lacorte, Vicepresidente e AD dell’azienda Pharmanutra.

Per SuperNikka, che nel 2015, sempre a Porto Cervo, aveva conquistato il titolo nella classe Mini Maxi Racing, si tratta del secondo appuntamento del 2017, dopo la partecipazione alla 151 Miglia-Trofeo Cetilar (chiusa al sesto posto), un impegno che arriva dopo due mesi molto intensi per Lacorte, che il 18 giugno aveva concluso la leggendaria 24 Ore di Le Mans con uno spettacolare nono posto assoluto (il settimo in classe LMP2) al volante della nuova Dallara P217 motorizzata Gibson, prototipo del team tutto italiano Cetilar Villorba Corse, e un mese dopo, il 18 luglio, ha festeggiato il debutto alla Borsa di Milano della sua azienda Pharmanutra.

Per le regate dei Maxi Yachts, organizzate dallo Yacht Club Costa Smeralda che proprio quest’anno festeggia il cinquantennale dalla sua fondazione, a bordo di SuperNikka Roberto Lacorte sarà affiancato alla tattica da Tommaso Chieffi, uno dei velisti italiani più noti e apprezzati al mondo, con all’attivo esperienze alle Olimpiadi, in Coppa America e alla Volvo Ocean Race, per un totale di 27 titoli Mondiali, 5 Europei e 13 Italiani vinti in carriera. Un fuoriclasse assoluto, che negli ultimi anni ha legato il proprio nome anche ai successi della barca che a poppa corre con il guidone dello Yacht Club Repubblica Marinara di Pisa (circolo presieduto dallo stesso Lacorte) e che potrà contare su un equipaggio di altri 16 velisti in cui spiccano i nomi di Enrico Zennaro e del portoghese Diego Cayolla.

“La Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup è l’obiettivo principale della stagione, quindi puntiamo ad ottenere un risultato che non sia inferiore alle nostre aspettative”, ha dichiarato l’armatore toscano, che ricopre anche il ruolo di Vicepresidente dell’International Maxi Association (IMA). “Due anni fa, alla prima stagione di regate, SuperNikka fu la migliore della sua classe, un risultato eccezionale, anche perché non è mai facile vincere con una barca nuova; quest’anno puntiamo a una conferma, anche se non sarà facile, visto l’alto livello dei nostri concorrenti. Per raggiungere questo obiettivo, la barca è stata ottimizzata al meglio, grazie al lavoro dello studio di progettazione di Mark Mills, che ha firmato il progetto di SuperNikka, del team che si è occupato dei lavori e dei velai della North Sails, che per l’occasione hanno realizzato delle vele nuove: siamo un equipaggio rodato e sono certo che tutti daremo il meglio di noi stessi, l’aspetto più importante di chi fa sport, a prescindere dal risultato finale”.

Le prime regate della Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup, una serie di prove costiere tra le isole dell’Arcipelago della Maddalena, sono in programma per lunedì 4 settembre, mentre la conclusione è prevista per sabato 9 (giovedì 7 la giornata di pausa). Ulteriori informazioni sul sito www.yccs.it

151 Miglia 2017

Grande successo degli yacht Vismara alla regata della “151 Miglia” 2017, manifestazione diventata ormai leader delle regate d’altura.

Rappresentata da una flotta di imbarcazioni al top di varie misure, e in rappresentanza di tanti anni di storia, la Vismara si riconferma leader della progettazione e costruzione di imbarcazioni a vela ad alte prestazioni da regata e crociera-regata.

Un ringraziamento particolare va, ancora una volta, a Supernikka, V62 Mills varata nel 2015 dell’armatore Roberto Lacorte; che domina la regata fin dalla linea di partenza, taglia in pole position la boa di disimpegno e va subito a vincere il trofeo Porto di Pisa di fronte a un intera flotta di più di 200 barche mantenendo la leadership poi per quasi tutta la regata fino al passaggio dell’isola d’Elba, dove un imprevisto salto di vento le ruba i pochi minuti necessari a confermare,ancora una volta, la vittoria assoluta.

Ma è Candelluva, V47 del 2013 dell’armatore Pietro Bertuzzi, che tiene testa al grosso della flotta in tempo compensato e si impone a tutti i big in classifica compensata.

Complimenti poi a Yoru, V62, varata nel 2016 di Luigi Sala che, oltre ad essere la barca più bella ed elegante dell’intera flotta, batte sul tempo le barche più blasonate; dal 70 “Atalanta”, al nuovo Millius 65 “Oscar G”, al Millius 60,oltre ai racer come Pendragon.

E in fine Mistress, il glorioso V50 del 2003, che dimostra l’avanguardia del progetto e tiene dietro i più nuovi Millius 50, X50 ed il grosso della flotta IRC.

Complimenti anche a tutti gli altri armatori Vismara, e Vismara-Baltic, che hanno contribuito a dimostrare la qualità delle nostre imbarcazioni.

Vismara V62 Mills SuperNikka – 2017 season preview.

This week will begin the third season of races for the Mini Maxi SuperNikka , the Vismara Mills 62 RC owned and helmed by the Pisa-based entrepreneur Roberto Lacorte, vice president and Chief Executive Officer of Pharmanutra Company as well as President of Yacht Club Repubblica Marinara of Pisa , host of the 151 Cetilar Trophy.

And it is at the 151 Miles race, which is excepted to see over 215 yachts cross the start-line on the afternoon of Thursday, June 1st in the Waters between Marina di Pisa and Livorno, where Roberto Lacorte’s boat will make her season debut, after a winter of work where she was further optimised based on the data collected in 2016, to challenge the new season with the goal of winning again at the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup scheduled for Porto Cervo, Sardinia in September, where Lacorte and his crew took the Mini Maxi Racing class world title in 2015, during her first year of competition. The optimisation works, carried out with the help of the naval architect and SuperNikka’s designer Mark Mills , covers all aspects including the rig, sail and a brand new keel and bulb.

“The Porto Cervo Maxi World Championship is clearly the main goal of the season for SuperNikka, but we could not start at the 151 Cetilar Miles Trophy, which is has become one of the most important Mediterranean regatta, ” says Roberto Lacorte, who in addition to yacht racing also has a passion for motorsport which will see him racing at this years Le Mans 24hr race at the wheel of Cetilar Villorva Corse LMP2 Dallara . The 151 Miles will be an important first test for the revised SuperNikka although the objective is very much to win. During their 2015 outing, they took line honours. For the 2017 race, there are several larger yachts entered, so pressure is firmly on.

At the 151 Mile-Trophy, Roberto Lacorte, who also plays the role of Vice President of the International Maxi Association (IMA), will divide the helm of SuperNikka with Enrico Zennaro, an 8-time world champion sailor, and with the Portuguese Olympian Diego Cayolla. In Port Cervo, Lacorte will be joined by Olympian, America’s Cup veteran and Volvo Ocean Race sailor Tommaso Chieffi who has no less than 27 world championships, 5 Europeans and 13 Italian championships under his belt.

Vismara Marine in the Principality of Monaco .

Vismara Marine is pleased to welcome in his team Pierpaolo Caretta.

Paolo was born in Milan in 1964 and got close to the nautical world in 1988.

Its activity in the financial sector led him to travel to Europe, and particularly to settle first in Paris and then in London. Even if he was working far from the sea, Paolo has always cultivated his passion for sailing, passion that he shares with his wife Antonella and their children Camilla and Andrew, both students in marine engineering.

From 1996 he has lived in the Principality of Monaco where he has  realized his dream: live close by the sea.

Paolo has developed a strong sailing experience both cruising and in regattas. In 2008 he has created his own company that operates in the brokerage and boats charter. In the last years the business has been extended to administrative and technical support, refitting and consulting.

Since 2012, Paul has dealt with nautical training for those who want to obtain the motor boat license (coastal or deep-sea) or who want to follow a tailored training on sailing boats.

Being able to pass on to others his passion, it is a source of great satisfaction.

The Principality of Monaco is undoubtedly a privileged place for yachting.

A modo mio. Niccolò Volpati meets Monica Leone . From “ Barche “, issued in January.

PEOPLE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT TASTES, BUT I THINK EVERYBODY CAN AGREE ON THE FOLLOWING: Italian boatyards produce beautiful cruiser racers. This statement is backed by figures. The number of new projects and launches is rising, as are orders. Sailing boats, whether for cruising or for racing, made in Italy for domestic or international owners. The two crucial ingredients are comfort and performance, as always, and a lot of yards seem to have hit on the magic formula. You could nearly call it a trend. A company that has always fitted this description is Vismara Marine and that is where Monica Leone and her husband went. They wanted a new boat, perhaps changing the way they sail. They are owners who like to sail a lot. They are a family with children that doesn’t spend most of its time with the stern hawsers crossed on the quay. They are not unsociable, nor are they hermits, but they don’t organise cockpit parties during the holidays. Friends are welcome on board, but they should realise that they will have to rack up the mileage. The boat they have chosen is the 62-footer. The design is by Alessandro Vismara/Mike Mills like SuperNikka. A fast racing boat that has won everything there is to win. They wanted a boat that could sail fast, but on cruises. They chose Vismara from all the yards because it was the one that allowed the highest degree of customisation.

Alessandro even softened the lines to fit in with Monica Leone’s requests. The choice was made, but there was another issue that needed addressing, and not a minor one. Monica Leone is an architect who specialises in restructuring, especially homes and commercial spaces. She had a pretty clear idea of how she wanted the interiors of her boat. Most of all, she generally doesn’t like the layouts put forward by yards that make cruiser racers. «They all look the same, they are too standardised – she says – The inspiration for the interiors of Wizard came from two directions: from what I have seen while sailing, and from our particular needs. We cover a lot of miles in the Mediterranean and we spend at least three months a year on board. I have seen some very nice interiors in various boat shows, but also some less convincing ones. I once saw a boat where the companionway finished on a different level to the dinette floor. Anyone who does a lot of sailing knows that a step like that can be dangerous». That is the added value of customisation and that is why Vismara deserves credit. The experience and the special requests of those who will be on board are combined with the skill of the design department and the waterlines of a winning design. «We started from the layout – says Monica Leone – and we then went on to decide on the structural bulkheads». There is a lot of customisation, but the special characteristics of a Vismara boat are untouched. And, as well as the structural furnishings, there is also the issue of materials. The cabin planking is made of carbon fibre to ensure that weight is kept to a minimum. «The decision I was most happy with was the choice of materials – Monica Leone explains. – I don’t like interiors that have a great jumble of elements that can be very different, such as wood, glass and iron. The danger is that it ends up looking very kitsch», she continues. «I chose wood for Wizard because it is warm and it avoids that psychiatric hospital look that you can get when the interiors of the boat are completely white. I also don’t like corners, I prefer slightly rounded shapes». There is wood in all the rooms, except in the two bathrooms that have a white lacquer finish. «Comfortable and functional those are my watchwords», says the architect. And a white bathroom is definitely more practical than one covered in wood. Finally, we can’t resist asking a question. A client who is also an owner, an architect and an expert sailor, someone who wants to be involved personally in designing the interiors, is like a form of stress test for the boatyard. I imagine a red light starts flashing, warning of danger, peril! We have to ask if they are still on friendly terms with Vismara. Monica Leone smiles and says that she still has great respect for Alessandro and gets on very well with him. Perhaps it was the Vismara Marine design department which was subjected to the hardest stress test. But the test was passed and, even if it was tough, it was worth it.

Viareggio, December 2016 – advanced composite materials, a careful analysis of the hull geometry and all the charm of the elements that have made Vismara the reference brand in the construction of light displacement boats. A project born from soundly scientific basis, to create value over time.

THE OPEN INNOVATION COMPANY : Vismara has always been the place where owners can enjoy a company able to scientifically support their choices. Vismara is working with the best professionals to offer an engineered platform on which a fast-cruiser can be developed and built. The Vismara V67 Mills was born. From the experience acquired by Vismara Marine in building the Vismara V62 Mills, a truly success, this new fast cruiser was based on the same philosophy: lots of innovation for a boat built on time and on budget, hand to hand with the customer.

SAILING THE LIGHTNESS is the Vismara Marine mantra, it means be able to handle the boat with a small crew thanks to the advanced sail plan design, the powerful hull able to minimize drag, the load’s distribution to the lowest center of gravity. Those are Vismara’s design choices to create a boat with lower loads and easy maneuverability; therefore, more safety for the entire crew and simpler into port maneuvers. At Vismara Marine we strongly believe in the use of advanced materials to create the best light displacement boats for our customers.

DECK PLAN AND APPENDICES : the deck plan is designed to get all maneuvers easily accessible from the cockpit. Four electric winches provide the crew full control on all operations at any speed, as well as on a race, the crew is able to trim the sails using the hydraulic system with two cylinders able to move in & out and up & down of the clews. With its hydraulically powered lifting keel offers a draft from 2.40 m to 3.60 m and is built in steel laminate structure Weldox with a torpedo lead.

THE INTERIOR : style and design are conceived to face the sea elements and satisfy the most demanding owners. That’s why everything has been developed in full harmony with Vismara Marine style, lightweight composite material able to meet the highest standards of quality without increase the displacement and offering the longest durability. The furniture are a structural element of the boat, the backbone, they can guarantee rigidity to the overall structure and comfort to the crew both at sea and at the anchor.

Designed by Renato  “Sonny” Levi , with interior by architect Gae Aulenti , Vismara Marine performed an important refit of Hidalgo.

Viareggio, December 21016 – Hidalgo, G.50 (the boat commissioned by the lawyer Giovanni Agnelli, the name G.50 stands for Giovanni 50 knots) and Barbarina, three boats designed by the Maestro Renato “Sonny” Levi based on the same Delta hull, that made him famous, but also profoundly different from each other. Hidalgo was built in 1968 by the shipyard Delta Anzio’s which had left intact its charm until today. A fast commuter intended for fast coastal cruising but also able to reach high speeds. With a small interior, the boat was still be able to accommodate the owner in a night anchoring thanks to doors opening system with a top closure awning.

Propulsion : Hidalgo was equipped with a couple of beautiful LDU (Levi Drive Unit) surface propellers, originally coupled with two MTU engines, today two new Cummins QSB 550 Hp able to push Hidalgo to more than 40 knots. Two Bruntons joints and two new flaps fitted with pistons capable of correct were installed on the boat to correct trim during planning, even at low speeds. Two Volvo “interceptors” were also installed to ensure proper alignment and stability even at high speeds.

Refitting : the refitting of Hidalgo kept busy Vismara Marine, togheter with Cantiere Navale Checchi, refit team from the summer of 2016. The need to consolidate all wooden structures, upgrade systems and equipment, give a new deck layout to enhance Hidalgo style and performances, were entirely performed by the Vismara Marine refit team. All Hidalgo structures have been brought to bare-wood, cleaned and checked in every single detail, including the moisture level. To strengthening the hull structure, epoxy resins were used; the interiors were treated and painted with acrylic-based paints to ensure proper insulation. New equipment were installed on board, in addition to new engines, a new Fisher Panda 5000i generator, a new boiler, a new concealed windlass on the bow to operate a fully automated anchor system. The whole electrical system was updated to make the 220V always available when the generator was in use or through battery inverter.

The new layout : The Opening doors were made in carbon fiber and feature the original portholes designed to provide light to the interior. The aft part of the deck layout was completely re-designed. In addition to the existing center cockpit, a second aft cockpit with a new console was added. The entire dashboard was moved and housed in the new aft cockpit, while the center cockpit was made fully available to guests. An aft electric platform was installed to handle the dinghy.

The boat in 1968 was regarded as one of the fastest boats in the world with diesel engines. Originally equipped with two Cummins 370 Hp and immersed propellers. They were than replace with two stern drives LDU (Levi Drive Unit) equipped with surface propellers working for a pair of diesel engines Caterpillar 425 hp each one.Launched at Anzio in 1968 for Roberto Olivetti, Hidalgo has much in common with its predecessors: G50 built for the Agnelli and Barbarina for built for Conte Augusta. Hidalgo had an operating range greater than 300 miles and a top speed of about 40 knots.

Hidalgo therefore benefits, not only of a lightening of the weights, but also to a higher power by the original 740 hp to about 850 hp. In this way the performance of the boat improved considerably to reach the maximum speed of 42 knots and cruising speed of 35 knots.

Working with the best in world

Vismara believes heavily in the mantra of computational fluid dynamics and the use of the very best technologies for a scientific approach to yacht design. Vismara Marine believes the yacht owner should know about the sailing performance of their yacht before she is launched, and it is from this that all Vismara yachts are born with the aim of “giving the cruising yacht owner the same chances and performance of the racing yacht owner”.

Over the years Vismara Marine has developed a number of working relationships with some of the most important and innovate shipyards and experts from all over the world including Perini Navi, Baltic Yachts, Cantiere del Pardo, Marten Yachts, Bruce Farr, Bill Trip, Maurizio Cossutti, Guido Spadolini and most recently Mark Mills who worked with Vismara Marine in the development of the V62 ‘SuperNikka’. These relationships have given Vismara Marine the opportunity to grow and improve some of the most innovative technologies in a world usually commonly ruled by outdated traditions.

Vismara Marine was born in 1984 from the vision of a talented young naval architect, Alessandro Vismara. This vision grew at the end of the 1980’s when Alessandro became one of the principle shareholders of the renowned Marine Services shipyard in Viareggio, the home of custom yacht construction in Europe. Here Alessandro developed the R&D […]

Vismara Marine was born in 1984 from the vision of a talented young naval architect, Alessandro Vismara . This vision grew at the end of the 1980’s when Alessandro became one of the principle shareholders of the renowned Marine Services shipyard in Viareggio , the home of custom yacht construction in Europe. Here Alessandro developed the R&D team in advanced composite construction and meets his friends Davide Valesi, Maurizio Fattori and Giancarla Bombieri , who will later become the main pillars of Vismara Marine as head of new yacht construction, head of refitting and head of customer care. Marine Services also joins forces with Baltic Yachts of Finland to become their agent for the Italian market, forging a working relationship that remains to the present day.

Through competing in and winning many hundreds of sailing regattas Vismara Marine developed the brand aim of a shipyard able to develop lightweight and fast sailing yachts, built using the best high tech materials and combining innovative solutions and design. From 1984 through to the first half of the 1990’s Vismara yachts collected countless victories at high-end regattas including Italian Championships and World Championships in 1992 & 1993, the Vismara V40 “Pistrice” winning the IMS Italian Championships in 1993 and the overall victory in the prestigious Champagne Mumm Cup the same year. 1996 then saw the launch of the Vismara & Buzzi designed Open 60 ‘Junplano’, an 18m Ultra Light Displacement yacht with canting keel, carbon wing mast and no standing rigging. Many of these features are now found in the very latest Vendée Globe yachts.

1984 – Alessandro Vismara opens his design studio after working at Perini Navi as chief of naval construction & sail engineering in Viareggio.

  The new Vismara 56 Mills is the end result of the idea of open company Vismara.

Following the great success of the Vismara Mills 62 ‘SuperNikka’, Mark Mills was employed again to help develop a brand new sailing yacht for an experienced owner, who was looking for a high quality blue water cruiser with tried & tested technological solutions, built using the best composite materials, and able to sail with lightness in typical Vismara style. This new project also involved Lucio Micheletti who developed the modern, luxurious and extremely functional interior design.

  Construction

  The Vismara 56 Mills employs an innovative and harmonious hull structure made of carbon fibre and epoxy sandwich, and then post-cured at a controlled temperature of 60° for a period of 24hrs. Internally, the yacht features a high quality mix of structural furniture and Burma teak to create a blue water cruiser optimised for sailing in the Mediterranean in the greatest of comfort – a perfect integration of elements and Italian style. This is the same way Vismara Marine has in the last 30 years launched all its technologically advanced fast cruising yachts, and has resulted in the a displacement for this certification Oceanic A 17,00 m yacht of just 14.000 kg.

Lucio Micheletti worked closely with the Vismara Marine Spa project team to develop the interior design which features a three cabin layout, each with king-size beds and an ensuite bathroom. The master cabin is forward and ahead of the saloon. A fourth crew cabin in the forepeak can be accessed either through the master cabin or via a deckhead hatch. In the saloon there is an abundance of space thanks to the kitchen which is located forward, allowing the maximum beam to be used for guest relaxation and comfort.

A great sailing yacht, with such great features deserves a rig of the maximum quality which means a carbon fibre mast, with a park avenue boom, carbon fiber rigging and rod staysail. The vang, backstay and mainsail track are all hydraulically adjustable whilst sail handling is accomplished effortlessly via two electric winches. The combination of automation and the high quality carbon fiber sandwich hull ensure a feel of to the yacht perfect harmony with the elements whilst allowing her to be sailed to her very best with only the smallest of a crews.

Twin is the first Vismara lauched together with the new sails Monolithic from Millennium Tecnology Center. Both companies are involved in products for all the clients needed.

“ Built only with unidirectional spread fibers through the joining of the various layers from corner to corner of the sail, this sail has a 100% balanced structure. Thanks to special machinery specially constructed to spread and plot fibers, Millenium Monolithic technology allows to produce a whole uncut structure for the entire surface. Its thickness is inert polymer free and\or low modulus as taffetas, film, etc. With the Millenium Monolithic Technology and the use of ovens with ceramic and carbon components used with a peculiar vacuum system, it is possible to reach pressures and temperatures never used up till now with sails that have no joints between panels and that are made in a single die cast piece. That’s why Millenium Monolithic membranes are currently the best shapeholding on the market.” Marco Holm, Veleria Marco Holm CEO.

Sailing in complete autonomy

Over the coachroof are set four highly efficient solar panels, each connected via a regulated charger dedicated to ensuring stability of the electrical system and preserving the best state of the gel batteries. Following the enormous success of the Vismara 47 FC, Vismara Marine believes it important to create yachts that can give owners increased autonomy in the consumption of power on board. You have only to enjoy the life on board during the daylight in the bay or sailing downwind without any generator noise to understand the value of this viewpoint.

The new Vismara Marine S.p.a. is born. After 30 years of success, Vismara Marine is pleased to announce the new Vismara Marine Spa. On 4 September, the Vismara Marine has signed an important agreement with Industrial and Financial Investments Europe Spa and entered into the project by the latter called things beautiful in Italy, which is also a sub-holding company for the purpose of investing in companies considered excellent, recognized for design and technological capability, such as a model to be exported all over the world. The Vismara shipyard, born from the passion of Alessandro Vismara along with the other founding members of the shipyard Maurizio Fattori (now in charge of the refitting), Davide Valesi (now in charge of the new buildings) and Giancarla Bombieri, from which they were born all the best sailing boats of the shipyard, as well as the new Vismara V80 Nakupenda, just launch, and from which will arise the all new 2015 yachts: Vismara V50 Baisc forever and the Vismara Mills V62 SuperNikka.

“It is our intention to strengthen the company and bring it to a significant growth at the international level – says Stefano Bennati, CEO of EuropaInvestimenti -. We won’t intervene too much in the management but we will try to create the best conditions around the entrepreneur so that he can fully express, as always done in the past, its potential and continue on its path of growth and development.” Vismara Marine represents excellence in terms of design, technological capacity and implementation of innovative projects, this is the Vismara DNA in over of thirty years of projects and yachts. “The know-how is the asset on which we intend to leverage to make the transition from a production almost exclusively’ tailoring ‘[that will remain the core business Vismara], as they like to repeat in Vismara, in a production that could be defined as pret-a-porter – Bennati precise.” The other new features will be more active in foreign markets, new models and upgrading services for the shipowners: i.e. Angeling. Alessandro Vismara explains why Europa Investimenti: “Europa Investimenti is right partner for growing up. They liked the people in Vismara and are not speculators. We were looking for partner with whom we can have a chemistry behind the work.We liked their intervention model, carry out the aggregation of companies that have one thing in common: excellence. We believe in these values, and they are willing to support us, helping us to bring to light our full potential. Today we start from a white paper with the help of new partners. We put 30 years of experience in building unique yachts, they will help us make the right choices, developing our lines of business, with some innovations, starting with the pret-a-porter!”

The best of both worlds.

The hi-tech racer/cruiser , Baltic 108 WinWin, was successfully delivered from Finland earlier this summer and is now headed for the Canary Islands before spending the first winter in the Caribbean. Her sleek lines were drawn by Javier Jaudenes, and she is built either to cruise comfortably with limited crew, or race aggressively fully-crewed at the most competitive Maxi regattas. With a strong emphasis on achieving minimal weight throughout the project while still having all the comforts on board, the hull and deck were laminated in pre-preg carbon sandwich with Corecell and Nomex cores. Baltic 108 WinWin is not only equipped with a lifting keel, but also carries a retractable propulsion system (RPS), which reduces propeller drag in the quest for the highest possible performance when sailing. A refinement of the system first used on the Baltic 147, Visione, the fixed propeller has been optimised, resulting in lower fuel consumption and a quieter engine, whilst also proving more effective during reversing manoeuvres.

The sleek superstructure encapsulates a long deck saloon, seamlessly connected to a single-level cockpit via the pushbutton retractable glass bulkhead. This bulkhead drops down discreetly, ensuring an uninterrupted transition between interior and exterior. The spacious cockpit features a sunbathing platform on either side, and provides an excellent area for fast, efficient manoeuvres while racing, and a large enough space for enjoying al fresco dining. The aft crew entrance ensures quietness and owner’s privacy.

Altro Vismara altre vittorie quelle del Vismara V40 Ganzuria che porta a casa un grande risultato alla Elbable 2014, a chiusura di una regata perfetta con al timone l’armatore Alessandro Degl’Innocenti che guida alla vittoria un equipaggio affiatato e determinato. Ganzuria porta a casa un bellissimo risultato, primo di gruppo e primo in tempo reale in una regata in cui non mancavano barche sportive di lunghezza fino a 24 metri ma, quello che più rende felice armatore ed equipaggio, come ci racconta Degl’Innocenti:

“è essere nella wall of fame della Elbable per il primo tempo in reale!”.

Complimenti al Ganzuria ed alla organizzazione della splendida regata.

Vismara 34 Vlag and Vismara 40 Pistrice win the Tre Golfi regatta 2014!! Congratulations to the owners Mr. Salvatore Casolaro, Mr. Giuseppe Romano and their crews from the whole Vismara Team! Well Done!!

Here are the words of Mr. Romano:

“Siamo partiti non proprio benissimo in quattro e subito quasi fermi, ma la mentalità e la forza era quella giusta. Siamo rimasti concentrati e da subito sono saltati i turni che ci eravamo proposti di fare. Insomma volevamo una regata da “bretoni”, da figaristi e così è stato: durissima. Ma ci siamo allenati per fare questo e soprattutto non ci sentiamo inferiori a nessuno, nemmeno ai grandi. Quindi di notte pile sulle vele e regolazioni al millimetro, timone sempre al top, tattica scrupolosa e infallibile. Ecco che già dalla prima notte, pronti ad ascoltare Pistrice in ogni suo minimo movimento, con i sensi a mille. Si, perchè su Pistrice più che gli strumenti conta la sensibilità di conduzione al timone e la regolazione millimetrica di scotte, drizze, paterazzo, ecc ….. Pistrice è una barca non facile che non perdona gli errori, soprattutto con poco vento. Noi quattro, io, Bruno, Matteo e Adriano, siamo ben consapevoli che la barca è forte e noi siamo in grado di portarla al massimo, sempre. Ognuno di noi ha un sacchetto per i viveri e acqua, succhi con il proprio nome scritto ,il team di terra, Sabina, ha ben organizzato tutta la barca; ognuno di noi si deve dosare le forze e gli alimenti. Non si cucina e si dorme poco, a tratti brevi. L’allenamento che abbiamo è molto ispirato a quello francese, bretone, anche se sono solo 160 miglia. Anche i pesi vengono ben posizionati e spostati secondo la necessità. La regata anche se breve è durissima, soprattutto dal punto di vista tattico. Così ogni passaggio, ogni rotazione, ogni piccolo segnale sul mare e nel cielo viene interpretato, annusato, capito, con un occhio sempre vigile sulle barche avversarie. Non mancheranno dunque scelte vincenti,ma mai estreme che ci spingeranno a lottare per la vittoria in overall fino quasi alla fine. La nostra sarà una delle nostre più belle regate, sia per la tattica sia per sempre attenta conduzione di Pistrice, che ci ha ripagato di grosse soddisfazioni. Si, perchè in questa regata non sono mancati duelli ravvicinati sia sotto Ponza, sia dopo Ponza, a Capri, ai Li Galli …… e tutti duelli con barche blasonate, forti, grandi che hanno reso questa vittoria in classe 0-2 molto bella, la più bella. Quando siamo arrivati eravamo tutti e quattro cotti, distrutti dalla fatica, ma contenti in parte per il risultato. Si, solo in parte, perchè ci è sfuggita la vittoria in overall, sfuggita per uno scherzo del vento che ha ricompattato il gruppo e per la mancanza di un A2. Ma noi siamo animali da vela e quindi il prossimo anno ci riporveremo. Comunque PISTRICE VINCE IN CLASSE 0-2 e questo lo voglio scrivere in grande, perchè Pistrice ed suo equipaggio lo merita in pieno.”

World Superyacht Award 2014. Baltic 107 Inukshuk won best sailing yacht 30-40 m category at the World Superyacht Award in Amsterdam and ‘Sailing yacht of the year’! Our waremst congratulations to the owner and the whole team. “The judges voted almost unanimously to select Inukshuk. Their decision was largely based on recognition that this yacht provides an optimal balance between excellent sailing performance and the high degree of comfort and customisation offered to its owner. Inukshuk’s elegant looks, which feature uncluttered deck spaces derived from the drawing board of German Frers, state-of-the-art sailing systems and the high standards of construction seen both in the structure of the vessel and its interior finish by Adam Lay Studio, were all factored into the decision.”

From one of our client: “Isn’t amazing to see a baby of yours going so fast because it is perfectly balanced around its keel? This propulsive energy is something you should be proud of.” May 2014. Show me the video

The challenging values of time.

Great projects have common concepts, sometimes they have to be sought in the depth of technical knowledge, but more often they are result of vision and perseverance. Great Projects get people being part of a new wave intended to upset values and things. We developed for thirty years everyday new values, time to time looking into the future. Growing with our ship-owners make us proud to being Vismara every day. After all we are here, with strong experience, to keep doing what we do best: making yachtsman happy.

The Vismara Navetta is characterized by a precise design effort made towards a total onboard systems integration for the most user friendly approach to sailing, while navigating and or manoeuvring in the port. After the bigger sister ship Vismara Navetta 68 and Vismara Navetta 56, this smallest Vismara Navetta 45 motor yacht shares with them the construction technology and the hull design.. A clear example of the Vismara construction technology is the use of the advanced composites and the clever integration between furniture and styling elements together with the structure of the hull and deck that reduce in a very significant way the displacement.
